Where I live in Spain (Andalucia) all the hotels are graded by stars. I don't read brochures so have no idea where you saw the keys. It will be a grading similar to stars. I would be careful in thinking a three key hotel was equal to a three star hotel because the grading may not be the same.

Stars are used for grading hotels. Each star has very specific legal requirements that must be met. For instance, in a 5 Star hotel, the toilet must be separated from the rest of the bathroom by floor to ceiling wall with a door!

A hotel is actually a very specifically defined term, again by law. For instance, all hotels must have a restaurant. Which means if there is no restaurant, the establishment is not a hotel...but rather a "hostel."

And hostels are graded by keys. Again, the more keys, the better. Personally, I will not stay in anything that does not have 3 keys.

Do these hotels by chance have apartments in them? Last I knew, hotels had a star rating, but apartments and aparthotels went by a key rating. I have stayed at some very nice places that were rated with only 2 keys.

They have stars, too, but the requirements for each is different than ours. I think keys is a special company, like AAA has diamonds.
