Everyone loves a bargain and bagging one of the many cheap hotels which abound in cities and resorts the world over is always a good thing; or is it? If you are looking for a bargain holiday then you will still want it to be a relaxing break and certain luxuries are necessary. What is important in a good cheap hotel and what can we let go as unimportant in our accommodation? Many people agree on certain things which are a must-have for any holiday, though needs may vary according to whether you are going on your holiday alone, as part of a couple or as a family with children in tow. Some points to consider for those holidaying with children might include the following when booking cheap hotels
- Are there basic washing facilities in the room?
A room with no sink or towel area can be a real inconvenience if you have small children with you. It is often necessary to hand wash some clothing items quickly and without the bother of finding a laundrette or public sink area. Small children are not known for their fastidiousness and having hot water to hand is useful when it comes to keeping them presentable!
- Tea and coffee making facilities can be invaluable
Check if there is a kettle in your room before booking with any cheap hotels as boiling water is often needed to access hot drinks or to assist with warming a baby’s bottle. There is nothing worse than waking up and finding no kettle facilities with which to make tea or coffee!
- Cleanliness is a necessity not a luxury!
Most cheap hotels are of a good standard as far as cleanliness is concerned but of course there are exceptions to the rule! One of the best ways to check out a cheap hotel’s reputation is to look out for online review by previous guests and take heed of their concerns.
Cheap hotels and location
Location is often the key point as to why a hotel is cheaper than others in the city or resort you are planning on visiting. Often cheap hotels may be further away from the beaches or from other attractions, but this need not mean that your stay is impaired. Check out local public transport and how reliable it is. Other useful things to consider is whether there are any restaurants, shops or bars or play areas near to your hotel. Facilities close to your hotel can be a very useful bonus if you want to have a quiet day.
Cheap Hotels and Late Deals
Late deals are a great way of securing a cheap hotel without losing in the quality stakes. If you can be available the day before you book, then you can secure amazing breaks at a fraction of the usual price. Plan in advance and prepare yourself to travel at short notice and you could really benefit from wonderful facilities and a great view without shelling out too much cash!
