What's the real difference between homestays and hotels!?

Hey everyone, let's talk about the eternal dilemma when booking accommodations! Which one should you choose - homestay or hotel? Today we'll break it down thoroughly! First, homestays are all about that "homey atmosphere." Many feature unique decor styles like Instagrammable or vintage themes, making them perfect for photo ops 📸 Some even come with private courtyards or terraces where you can barbecue with friends/family or stargaze, full of authentic local vibes. The hosts are usually super friendly too, giving insider tips on hidden gem eateries and attractions. However, service standards may vary, cleanliness can be inconsistent, and amenities might be limited. Now hotels - their biggest advantage is standardized service! From housekeeping to facilities and procedures, everything follows strict protocols. You'll find polished lobbies, pristine bedding, complete bathroom amenities (hair dryers, kettles standard), plus 24/7 front desk service for any midnight needs. Many also offer fitness centers, pools, and restaurants for hassle-free stays. The tradeoff? Less personality in decor. Truth is, neither is inherently better - it's all about personal preference! For unique experiences and local immersion, choose homestays. If you prioritize reliable service and facilities, hotels won't disappoint 😉 Speaking of which, let us introduce Xana Hotel (Chengdu East Railway Station CapitaMall Branch)!
