Hostels: Budget Accommodation

Many things have changed since I have been travelling in China in the 80s and 90s of the last century. There are still some shabby hostels with dark dormitories. But today you'll find a lot of nice hostels in almost every place. There you can have a bed in a shared room or in a dormitory. But most hostels also offer private rooms with toilet and shower ensuite. In cities like Beijing or Xi'an you'll find many of the hostels in old historic buildings with a century old environment. To stay in such a hotel is a great experience.

Most hostels offer:
- free Internet
- free or cheap pick up service from train station or airport
- organisation of tours and sightseeing
- help with buying train or airplane tickets

Unique Qualities: I found the informations and possibilities of making reservations thru www.hostelworld.com very comfortable and helpful.

4- to 5- Star-Hotels: Luxurious Accomodation

Today 4- or 5- star- accomodation can be found almost everywhere. Normally this hotels look like that kind of hotel everywhere in the world: a big lobby, nice service, rooms with private bath and aircondition.

Recently the Chinese discovered, that it might be quite nice to have some local Chinese hotels. But those Hotels with their little courtýards or old dark Chinese furniture are still very rare.

Unique Qualities: I do not really like the international atmosphere in this hotels, which could be anywhere. BUt I always enjoy the clean bathrooms, the comfortables bed and the satelite TV.

And also: where else would I find an excellent breakfast buffet? Even if it sometimes only has Chinese breakfast.
