Budget Hotels
Looking firstly at the budget hotel chains. The cheapest hotel chains are rated One Sta (Superbudget Hotels) or in some cases are not graded such as the ) Star Hotel in a Swiss Nuclear bunker. France is particularly well served with Superbudget hotel chains and also has some of the most competitively priced rooms. Using a budget chain is one of the best bets for finding a cheap hotel in Europe.  Over the last few years budget airline pricing has entered the hotel business, so that the best deals are those booked in adavnce. Do your research, sign up to e-mail newsletters and you can get an excellent deal.

Almost all of these budget /superbudget hotel chains now have an Internet presence. In most cases their sites enable online reservations as well as providing comprehensive information on facilities, location maps, directions as well as brochure request. All of the hotels have colour TV's so we have replaced that column with Air Conditioning which can become essential in hot weather.  WiFi is also offered in many of these hotes now. Sometimes it is free, sometimes through a subscription service.

The next project will be to revise the hotel section of this site in so that the prices of accomodation can be compared more easily. Quite difficult in times of dynamic pricing as the price you are offered depends mainly on when you book. Comparison sites help but are no subsitute for booking in advance, after being notified of the release of a tranche of cheap rooms.

Late Booking

Having just explained that the best deals are reserved for those booking in advance, what do you do if you have to go away at short notice? Well all is not lost as there are a number of  late booking sites specialising in late booking deals. One of my favourites being LateRooms. In some cases I have stayed at luxurious hotels with character for the same price as a cheap budget chain.  more information on the Late Booking page.

Hostels
Hostels are even cheaper. Eurapart now can offer hostels throughout Europe through HostelWorld.com. More and more families are staying in hostels so they now offer family rooms, even doubles in my experience. To look up prices of hostels and some very cheap hotels in most European cities click on the button. The HostelWorld site also give some excellent budget hotel options as well as the expected hostel accommodation.
