Cheap Hotels and Booking your Perfect Holiday


Cheap hotels and why they’re worth the risk
Booking a holiday or even a short break can be a strain in many ways, not least of all on your wallet! The cost of accommodation is the biggest expenditure next to flights. It’s a sensible thing to consider the cheap hotels when looking for where to stay. Cheap hotels don’t have to be poor quality; in fact some of the nicest hotels are very reasonably priced. They’re just more basic! A holiday is about the chance to experience something new and different, it’s a chance to get out and about and to travel, visit new locations and try new things. A good holiday is not about where you sleep at night!  This is why booking cheaper accommodation is worth the risk as the main ingredients for a great break are a lovely location and the ability to relax. Why worry about whether your room has a sea view or not? As long as you are within walking distance of the beach or town, you will be fine!

Booking cheap hotels in the country
So you fancy a lovely rural break, rolling fields and dappled woodlands are the order of the day. Perhaps you fancy staying on a farm or in a cottage? New way to enjoy a rural break is to look for cheap hotels in rural villages. Often, rural villages will have a pub which doubles as a hotel and these can make an excellent base from which to explore the local area. You will be in a village location with at the very least a decent pub and a post office or corner shop nearby, you can take advantage of the locals who will come in for an evening drink and find out about the area...where is good to visit? What restaurants do they recommend? This is often a wonderful way to enjoy a break and can be a lot of fun when compared to luxury hotels which though plush may lack the personal touch.

Booking cheap hotels in the city
Most cities abound with cheap hotels and it’s often the best way to take advantage of the fierce competition which city hoteliers are party to. Look online for recommendations, there are many wonderful smaller hotels in our larger cities which while they may be basic, are wonderfully run by professional staff and which are also right on the doorstep of all the city attractions you could wish for. Shopping and eating out can be made that bit more enjoyable when you know you have saved cash on your accommodation! Cheap hotels in cities are often in more outlying areas or in slightly bohemian areas...all of which makes for a more interesting stay!

Reasons to book cheap hotels
  • Save your cash for extra days and evenings out
  • Experience areas which you might not otherwise get to see
  • Personal touch
  • Meet the locals

All in all staying in cheaper hotels is a great way to boost your wallet and take a little risk, if you don’t try it you’ll never know!
