Theme Hotel 1-Star Guide

Theme Hotel 1-Star Certification is gained when you meet 3 requirements (550 Reputation, $10,000 cash, have at least 20 rooms for tenant) and wait for at least 1 month to verify your funds are stable.

You will begin with 0-star hotel and few low-level rooms to play with which are ‘Standard Room’, ‘Reception Room’, ‘Laundry Room’, “Cafe’ and a basic ‘Elevator’.

You will have access to all 4 types of staff, namely ‘Maid’, ‘Engineer’, Receptionist’ and ‘Waiter’. Each of these staff manages one of each specific rooms, which will be discussed in detail below.

The ‘Reception Room’ requires a ‘Receptionist’ staff to bring in new tenants and send off leaving tenants. However, you will need to have at least 1 room in order for your Receptionist to assign them to a room. An ‘Engineer’ will be required to be stationed in ‘Laundry’ to fix malfunction washing machines. They could also fix electronic equipment which will be introduced in next star hotel. ‘Waiter’ is needed to serve tenants with food and drinks in ‘Cafe’. ‘Maid’ are more commonly seen in hotel as they clean dirt from room to room.

I reserved the ground floor as my Reception Department to invite potential tenants who wish to stay in my hotel, while the 2nd floor and 3rd floor are for ‘Laundry’ and ‘Cafe’. Build at least 30 ‘Standard Rooms’ and 2 ‘Laundry’ and 2 ‘Cafe’ to support the hotel tenants. This will generate a steady cash flow to meet the 1-Star Hotel Requirement. Have at least 1 maid cleaning each floor containing ‘Standard Rooms’.

Your hotel will soon become a skyscraper when you decide to place lots of rooms on top of each other. As a result, tenants will start complaining about the long wait for the elevator unless it is done correctly. Build an elevator with a maximum of 3 shafts and pair it with another elevator in zig zag manner. This method allows shorter wait time for customer to move around different hotel floors. Checkout the final layout below on how I position the elevators.

More Info
Reception : Build $5000 | Expenses $200/mo
Standard Room : Build $500 | Expenses $30/mo | Stay Price $6/night
Laundry : Build $2000 | Expenses $80/mo | Service $30/customer
Cafe : Build $3000 | Expenses $120/mo | Service $40/customer

Theme Hotel 2-Star Guide

Theme Hotel 2-Star Certification is gained when you meet 3 requirements (600 Reputation, $30,000 cash, have at least 40 rooms for tenant) and wait for at least 1 month to verify your funds are stable.

Congratulations on reaching your 1-Star Hotel! If you have noticed in the Building Menu, you have unlocked 3 new rooms! ‘Arcade’, ‘Internet’ and ‘Gym’. ‘Internet’ is commonly frequent by hotel tenants like they do their ‘Laundry’. This similarly applies to Arcade.

Therefore, you will need to sync the total numbers of rooms you have with Laundry. If you have 2 ‘Laundry’, have 2 of Arcade and Internet each. This will avoid tenant complaining long queue for these services! You will need only 1 Gym, since not many tenants prefer to exercise indoors. To sum up: 30 tenants per ‘Laundry’, ‘Arcade’, ‘Internet’ and ‘Reception’ Room. You will only need 2 Cafe and 1 Gym.

More Info
Arcade : Build $10,000 | Expenses $400/mo | Service $270/customer
Internet : Build $5,000 | Expenses $200/mo | Service $135/customer
Gym : Build $8000 | Expenses $320/mo | Service $210/customer

Theme Hotel 3-Star Guide

Theme Hotel 3-Star Certification is gained when you meet 3 requirements (650 Reputation, $50,000 cash, have at least 60 rooms for tenant) and wait for at least 1 month to verify your funds are stable.

Congratulations to you for achieving 2-Star Hotel! This unlocks ‘Bowling’, ‘Open Air Cafe’ and ‘Beauty Shop’. To make lots of money, you could not solely depend on collecting rent from tenants to stay. Providing extra services through entertainment (‘Bowling’), food (‘Open Air Cafe’) and health (‘Beauty Shop’) will allow you more money to invest on other facilities! To be honest, this secondary income generates almost 50% more or higher compare to primary income.

In short, quickly establish these secondary income facilities as quick as possible through loaning money from bank. I advised that you loan around 50% of the max loan you are allowed, to avoid paying additional loan interest that your hotel could not even generate. Open Air Cafe generates good income, followed by Bowling and Beauty Shop. You will only need 1 of each, maximum at most 2 just to avoid customer for better reputation in exchange for paying extra on monthly expenses.

More Info
Open Air Cafe : Build $25,000 | Expenses $1,000/mo | Service $165/customer
Beauty Shop : Build $20,000 | Expenses $800/mo | Service $540/customer
Bowling : Build $15,000 | Expenses $610/mo | Service $390/customer

Theme Hotel 4-Star Certification is gained when you meet 3 requirements (700 Reputation, $100,000 cash, have at least 90 rooms for tenant) and wait for at least 1 month to verify your funds are stable.

Congratulations on earning 3-star hotel! ‘Suite’ (Bedroom), ‘Pool’ and ‘Cinema’ are 3 new rooms unlock in this stage. Suite generates 5 times more than Standard Room rent. Build at least 12 of these, and 1 each for ‘Pool’ and ‘Cinema’. You will need a maximum of 2 when you reach 5-star hotel though to cater large amount of rich customers provided you have many Suite Rooms. From what I notice, more Suite means more rich customer using these luxurious services, which means more money!

Pool : Build $40,000 | Expenses $160/mo | Service $1,080/customer
