After thinking about the consistency that I have experienced with B&Bs in Mendocino, CA, Toronto, Boston and Barcelona, I think I much prefer staying at B&Bs than at hotels, these days. This, of course, begs the question: why can't hotels just be as consistent as B&Bs? After all, some B&Bs offer 5-star service for the price of a 3-star hotel.

The decor was old fashioned, the room's telephone was from the 60s. There are newer hotels being built in Prague though that will be modern. Have you read the reviews on sites like http://www.holidaywatchdog.com and http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk? Rob, I stayed in 3 star accommodation, but it was a BOAT hotel!!

We've been told our B&B is 3 star, but not sure if this is the same standard as the 3 star hotel we stayed in last year. Are B&Bs the same classifcation as Hotels in France?
