Just yesterday I met an interesting article in a local magazine. If you already guess the topic of the article, I'm here to help you. Well, it wasn't some movie star or cricket; it was about how people prefer local guesthouses over luxury hotels. In short, the guest houses are back in fashion. In fact, both corporate and family people choose lodges instead of high-class hotels.
For me, this is not surprising, since I like to stay in a guest house, and not in an expensive hotel. I will explain the main reasons for the rest of my article. According to the magazine’s article, global financial failure is one of the main reasons why people are more interested in accommodating in a guest house. Given the current situation in the global economy, most people today cannot afford a foreign vacation, and you can expect this trend to continue for a very long time. Even for those who prefer to stay at home, budget break is a good option. This type of accommodation is very popular as it is the most economical place to stay.
Even if you are not a budget traveler, here are some good reasons underlying the popularity of guest houses with respect to expensive five-star hotels.
home furnishings
The phrase “guest house” usually offers images of dirty rooms, worn bedding and a lack of amenities. If you think in one line, most likely you are still in the past. These days, guest houses are stylish, elegant and, most importantly, comfortable. The rooms of these houses are pretty clean, no frills and unrest. It gives you a homely feeling - something that you really need when you are on vacation.
Enjoyable experience
Previously, guest houses were small and mostly belonged to people from the middle class. However, today they are also popular with business owners and corporate people. Moreover, the owners of these guest houses usually belong to a modest background and know the exact requirements of their clients. In short, they are taking all the necessary steps to make sure their customers feel comfortable and easy. This personal relationship creates a family, such as the atmosphere - the main priority for any vacationing enthusiast.
Cooking
Most of these lodges have cooking facilities, and customers can use this area on their own. Such objects are usually not available in five-star hotels. In addition to saving you a lot of money, you can eat on your own, even in a foreign country.
