I usually prefer hotels too, but I’ve never had this issue. What I don’t like is the extra fess they add though. Makes it hard to compare prices since “per night” has almost no reflection on how much total cost of the stay.
When I was in Rome I had a beautiful apartment for $70 per night with a terrace garden, a balcony, a grill, a full kitchen, a private laundry room, locals cafe, locals bakery. You don’t any of those things with a hotel, and yet mediocre rated hotels in that area were like 5x more.

gasthof superiority, it's the best of both worlds.
What's that?
Not sure if that's the correct translation but I think he means an inn. Basically what I understand as a Gasthof is something like a restaurant which also rents out some rooms.
yeah inn is probably the best equivalent in english, most of the time a gasthof is just the right scale of establishment.
It's small enough that it's cheap and cozy, but large enough that you actually have decent rooms and service. Plus you can find a gasthof in really small villages in germany, it's so much nicer than staying at a hotel IMO.
True story
Yes, an hotel room is more expensive than an Airbnb but the convenience makes up for it.
What are we comparing Airbnbs to? At least in large cities, the price of an Airbnb would be equivalent of a Motel 6 or Best Western. If you want the Hilton or Marriott, it would be at least 2x or 3x the price of an Airbnb.
Nah, i work in a hostal in Mexico city, we charge $40 per room while airbnb usually charges at least $100.
It depends on what you want. For my family, having space for the kids to hang out and play, inside and out, is a huge plus. Also we like to cook some of our meals while on vacation.
