The French hotel star ranking system.
The
French hotel star ranking system was updated in 2009. but it is still
essentially an amenity-based system, rather than a quality based
system. A hotel with all the required amenities can
qualify for more stars, even when the services are quite basic.
Conversely, a bijou hotel that lacks lacks certain amenities
required for a
given star level (such as shower or bath in
all guest
rooms) will have difficulty achieving the "points" required for the
star level it really merits.
As a result, while the star ranking is by and large a measure
of
quality, it is not always the case, and it is quite possible to find
some really good two-star hotels, and some fairly tawdry three star
ones.
There are even some well established hotels that
prefer to remain ** establishments because it costs less in taxes.
