However, local hotels have a certain specificity and classification, different from the usual system of estimating the level of the hotel by the number of stars. Therefore, before making a hotel reservation, carefully study their main varieties and familiarize yourself with the living conditions in them.

Traditionally, tourists choose the more conventional international option - Western-style hotels, which, according to the degree of budget, are marked with letter designations. The most elite hotels are designated by the letters DX (Deluxe), here the clients are offered the best accommodation and services.

The average level is represented by hotels of the type F (First), the standard set of amenities is offered by the S (Standard) hotel, and the most budget option is the hotels under the letter E (Economy).
