Three Star Hotels
At this level, hotels are usually of a size to support
higher staffing levels, and a significantly greater quality
and range of facilities than at the lower star classifications.
Reception and the other public rooms will be more spacious
and the restaurant will normally also cater for non-residents.
All bedrooms will have fully en suite bath and shower rooms
and offer a good standard of comfort and equipment, such as
a hair dryer, direct dial telephone, toiletries in the bathroom.
Some room service can be expected, and some provision for
business travellers.
Percentage scores - what
they mean
The percentage score denotes the quality of the facilities
and services at each star rating, and is based on the inspector's
personal experience at the time of his/her visit. It enables
guests to distinguish degrees of quality at hotels of the
same star rating.
Outstanding Quality
These are hotels awarded the AA's supreme award and are made
annually to a select number of hotels as a recognition of
excellence within their star rating. For hotels to earn it,
they must consistently provide outstanding levels of hospitality,
service, food and comfort.
High Quality
A score greater than 70 per cent indicates a very good hotel,
which is strongly recommended for achieving excellent standards
in most areas of the operation.
