  Caroline M. asked:

  Anyone know the difference between the terms Hostal, Pension, Hostales and Hotel?

  

  Sylvia N. replied:

  Hotel One to five-star hotels can be found throughout Spain. Most hotels have seasonal price structures and room charges will depend on the time of year you travel. Casa rural These country houses include B&B, cottages and apartments. Accommodation ranges from simple and homely to upmarket luxury. www.coloursofspain.com/ Posada A chain of affiliated lodging inns or rustic hotels (not to be confused with fondas), these are usually upmarket country or city inns with good accommodation and meals. www.posadascaminodesantiago.com/alojamientos.php Hostal A little downscale from hotels – the hostales are graded according to a three-star system. (Not to be confused with hostels). www.todohotel.com/Hoteles/hostales.html Pension Marked with a ‘P’ on a sign, there are many more pensiones than fondas and they generally offer more up-market accommodation than the fondas. Many are family owned and in towns and cities occupy one or two floors in a general purpose building. Fonda Marked with a white ‘F’ on a blue sign, the fondas are small inns; most are very basic and do not offer en suite bathrooms or any luxuries. Hostels Spain has about 200 youth hostels, most of which are members of the Red Española de Albergues Juveniles (REAJ). (Not to be confused with the hostales) www.reaj.com
