What's the difference between cheap hotels in Europe and the Middle East (including Turkey)?

Question

h : Thanks. I imagine cheap hotels in the UAE are clean, altho I've never been there.

But I've often travelled between Greece and Turkey and got used to the fact that, whereas even the cheapest hotel in Greece will be clean, in Turkey, unless you go to a 3-star place, you must be ready for dirty rooms, dirty linen and a frowsy atmosphere.

Answer 1

Sorry, but you have to be a bit more specific to compare hotels. Which hotels in Europe you would like to compare with which hotels in the Middle East?

You even can not compare a 5 star hotel in France with a 5 star hotel in any other European country because the french hotel will not meet the same standards.

Same with the Middle East. Please do not try to compare a hotel in Turkey with any hotel in the Middle East like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman etc.

There are to much differences between hotels in Europe and the Middle East itselves.

In general (exluding Turkey) the standard of a "cheap" hotel in the Middle East is furnished better and provides better service than an European.

But what you call "cheap" you may not find in the Middle East. Therefore you have to compare "cheap" hotels in the Middle East with expensive hotels in Europe.

Take care.

Answer 2
