GRAMMAR - MORE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE

The name of a hotel in Chinese usually reveals its rating.

宾馆 bīnguǎn, 饭店 fàndiàn, and 酒店 jiǔdiàn are usually four- or five-star hotels where most foreigners will stay. The staff in these hotels usually speaks English.

旅馆 lǚguǎn, and 旅店 lǚdiàn are usually three-star or below hotels. Their staff usually do not speak English.

招待所 zhāodàisuǒ (guest houses or hostels) originally belonged to state-run companies or government agencies. Since the mid-1980s, with Economic Reform, most have become hotels. They usually are low-cost hotels, and only some of them let foreigners stay as guests.
