Star Ratings in Austria (Association of the Hotel Industry)

Star ratings for lastminute.com.au listings in Austria are supplied by the hotel to indicate their rating from the Association of the Hotel Industry. This is an independent organisation, which operates the official Star Rating scheme in Austria.

Some general remarks on accommodation in Austria:

Personnel
An intensive apprenticeship programme is the norm for those wish to enter the tourism and hospitality sector in Austria. Similarly, state-of-the-art in service training is provided at minimal cost to operators in the field. Visitors can expect knowledgeable, efficient and courteous staff, with a functioning knowledge of the English, French and Italian languages.

Restaurant facilities
Generally in Austria, the overnight tariff includes breakfast. From the two star level onwards, lunch and/or dinner is usually offered. 4 star hotels normally boast some of the finest restaurants in Austria. 5 star hotels offer unsurpassed restaurant facilities.

Payment of incidentals
Credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas. However, it should be noted that this form of payment is less common in the countryside. The following definitions are supplied by the Association of the Hotel Industry (http://www.hotelsterne.at).
