Usually when I travel, I would stay in a 2 to 3 star hotel depending on the
location. I guess for me what is important is really accessibility to where
I need to go (near public transport zone), a safe environment and a
no-nonsense
place. Basic comfort is important which includes clean sheets,
air-conditioning
and a personal shower.

I guess it depends on the situation. If you are travelling to meet a
business
client then a business class hotel might be a good place to be in or if it
is
your honeymoon and you want it to be a time to remember. Some travel
via tour packages and they do not really have much choice of where to
stay.

What are readers thoughts on travelling to Asia and spending big $$$
to stay in an expensive hotel? Would people prefer to stay in a
hostel given that hotels should only b eused to sleep in?
