Want to find a cheap and comfortable hotel? By following our 3 simple tips you should succeed in finding the rare pearl. We start without waiting.
Tip clever n°1:Going on vacation out of season
Hotel networks double the price of rooms during major holiday periods. They know very well that the demand will be high, so they take advantage of it!
On the other hand, the prices are lowered during the months when the affluence is less strong. That's when you have to book to get a cheap hotel. Besides, it's a good idea not to leave at the same time as everyone else, because we spend a much quieter holiday!
Clever tip n°2:prefer small chains to large hotels
It's not just the little "bouibouis" that are cheap! Some hotels that are far from shabby, offer the same services than the major competing chains, but they are less expensive. Sometimes it's not because of the quality of the services, but rather because they are less known or that they are in foreign countries, where the cost of living is lower, such as Morocco or Tunisia for example.
The good trick to follow is to look at the small booklets of the hotel signs and to compare them. You can also go read customer reviews on the Internet, it's very useful to get an idea of the quality/price ratio, when you don't know anything about it.
Clever tip n°3:Sleep in the peripheral zone
Hotels that are right in the city center or right next to tourist attractions are more expensive. And yes, even the practical side is charged! For example, I was in La Rochelle in March and the price of a room in the city center was twice that of a room in the same hotel chain, but outside the city!
Better to sleep 10-15 km away big cities. Of course you will have to get up earlier to visit or do activities on site, but at least you enjoy the same bed for less and that's an advantage over other tourists!
The secret to finding a good hotel, you have understood, is to pay attention to the periods you choose, but it is also SEARCH. I agree that rummaging is not a piece of cake, but you might as well waste a little time and energy, rather than spend your money in a room whose price will be multiplied by 2 or 3, don't you think? not?
If you make an effort to research and at the same time respect the little rules of smartness that we propose to you, you will be rewarded by avoiding ending up in a room at 100-200€ per night... Which puts a serious hole in the holiday budget, especially when you plan to leave for cheap!
