HOTELS - Brief Descriptions |
Truly Australia's selected hotels are broadly graded into 6 categories to give clients an
approximate idea of the quality of the accommodation: Budget (1 star),
Tourist (2 star); Standard (3 star); First Class (4 star), Superior (4.5
star) and Deluxe (5 star). Some small and individualistic
properties are termed as 'Boutique'.
In Australia, the description 'Suite' does not necessarily mean the
accommodation has a separate bedroom.
