Ah, the joys of traveling abroad! Leave your home country and much of what you know and take for granted goes out the window. Such is the case with hotel ratings.
In the US, we depend on the American Automobile Associations (AAA) to give our hotels diamond ratings based on a level of amenities (not to mention discounts on rooms). Mobile dishes out stars, the more stars, the more luxury you can expect.
In Europe, you need to know what country you are in to know what rating system might be in place for your hotel (More about that later!) The world doesn't have a standard rating system but there is a move on to develop world wide standards for hotel by the a group called the World Hotel Rating (WHR) which plans a test for this year.
