Budget Hotels – Cheap Prices No Longer Mean Shoddy Rooms and Poor Service

Budget Hotels – Cheap Prices No Longer Mean Shoddy Rooms and Poor Service

The Budget Hotel market is changing rapidly. Gone are the days when Cheap Rooms meant Low Standards and Poor Service. And this is thanks in no small part to the aggressive but customer-winning marketing of £19 rooms by Travelodge.

www.Travelodge.co.uk have thrown down the gauntlet to their rivals with their year round £29 Travel Lodge Rooms, along with their regular sales of £19 Rooms sleeping up to 4 people. These prices are only available if you are happy to pay for non-refundable rooms, but never the less this has opened up travel opportunities to many more would-be travellers and business people.

No other Budget Hotel Chain comes close to competing with Travelodge.co.uk when it comes down to the pure value for money of these £19 and £29 Travel Lodge rooms. They are rated 3 star, their rooms are clean and comfortable, and their staff incredibly helpful and friendly.

However, if you need flexibility you should certainly cast your net wider, and search using the hotel booking sites recommended on our Best Hotel Websites page. When you look at the full price of £50-£60 for a Travelodge, you may be able to find higher standard accommodation at a cheaper price – if it can be found anywhere then our recommended Hotel Booking Websites are the place where you will find it.

In addition, we recommend you check the Holiday Inn Express and Holiday Inn website, as the price for both chains can start as low as £40 per room. On top of that, at the Holiday Inn Express this includes free continental breakfast and free internet access. Personally, I would rate both these chains as upmarket to Travelodge, so when you can find a room here for a lower price it is worth taking.

Cheap Rates for UK Hotels – Finding the Best Rooms and the Lowest Rates

We have spent a lot of time checking out the numerous hotel-booking websites for the UK market, and we are convinced we have identified those which consistently offer the cheapest price for a given rating of hotel.

Our Recommended Hotel Booking Websites are

LateRooms.com

Hotels.com

Travelodge.co.uk

If you have hours to spare to scour the internet yourself then it is possible that you will find a marginally better deal, but we also believe that in the majority of cases you will fail to do so.

In our view, if you just check the sites listed the odds are you’ll find the best deal available.

LateRooms.com has an excellent range of UK hotels and, in our opinion, one of the easiest to use and helpful hotel-booking search engines in the business. As their name suggests, they are particularly good for booking UK hotels at short notice, just a few weeks ahead, when you can frequently snap up a real bargain. However, their market leading presentation of hotels matching your search criteria also allows you to see easily whether booking a day earlier or later will actually allow you to save even more money on their terrific rates. They specialise not only in UK Hotels, but also Hotels around the World.

Hotels.com is another favourite of ours. They have an excellent selection of hotels across the UK, and again have market-leading prices. As well as UK Hotels, they also have thousands of Hotels Worldwide.

Travelodge.co.uk is another company we regular feature on this blog, although they are obviously a hotel chain which just features their own Travel Lodges. If you are looking for standard 3* accommodation at a great price then you really will struggle to match those from Travelodge when they are running one of their £9, £19 or £29 room promotions (which to be honest, is nearly all of the time nowadays!). These low room rates are non-cancellable and non-refundable, so only useful if you know you won’t have to change your plans, and do usually have to be booked 18 days in advance (£19 rooms) or 7 days in advance (£29 rooms). If you have to book with less than 7 days notice or need more flexibility, then we do recommend you check the prices of other hotels too using the other sites listed here.

Mothers Day Gifts – Pamper Your Mum with a Hotel Spa Break this Mothers Day

We have been looking through the great Hotel and Spa breaks available with LateRooms, and have listed below just a small selection of the many Spa Hotels they have on their books, with room prices (not per person prices) shown for 2nd March 2008.

Rooms in Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon at Up to 70% Discount

Warwickshire is a beautiful county, and no visit there is complete without a stay in Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon. One look at the selection of Stratford-Upon-Avon hotels on LateRooms, and you can see there are many bargains to be found.

The superb 4* Barcelo Billesley Manor Hotel has B&B prices for a double room starting at just £75 on LateRooms. Alternatively, there is the 3* Best Western Grosvenor Hotel which offers room only from £59 per night, or a two night stay with breakfast and Table D’hote meal on the first night for two people for a package price of £169.

Or if you fancy a round of golf before heading for the theatre in the historic market town of Stratford-upon-Avon, why not try the Ingon Manor Hotel, Golf & Country Club which has its own 18-hole par 72 golf course. With double room B&B prices of £65 per room, and family room prices of £95 this is definitely worth considering for you golfers out there (but be careful of the 5-day cancellation period for this hotel).

Discover Manchester 4* Serviced Apartments in City Centre for Superb Value Rooms

The regeneration of Manchester’s city centre has led to a wealth of truly luxurious apartments being built, and there are thousands available as an alternative to hotels for anything from just one night to a week, or more if you want it.

A quick look on LateRooms list of Manchester Accommodation brings up a list of hotels and apartments where, unusually, there are almost as many apartment establishments as there are hotels.

As you read down the list of places to stay, there are a couple of things that immediately jump out at you:

• The 4* serviced apartments are significantly cheaper than the 4* hotels
• The 4* serviced apartments almost all have a customer review rating of 5 out of 6, which is far less common for the hotels

Apartment Complexes with on-site management start at around £72 for a studio (try the Atrium by Bridge Street Apartments) or £77 for a 1 bedroom apartment (like the 4* Premier Apartments). However, you can also book luxury 4* and 5* apartments for even less than this done mind choosing one where you have to phone in advance of your arrival so someone can meet you there.

For example, the 4* City Penthouse Apartments offer 1 bed suites for £69, or £65 per night for a minimum of 2 nights stay.

Why not check out the excellent selection of Serviced Apartments on LateRooms next time you are staying in Manchester City Centre – I am sure you’ll be impressed.

Hop Across to Normandy for Some Great Value Hotel Breaks

If you are looking for a short break in Northern France then LateRooms has a great selection of Normandy hotels to choose from.

I recommend trying the following:

• The 4* Belle Vallee in Domfront (Orne), which has just about the best feedback I have seen from its guests and starts at an incredible £37.33 for a double room including breakfast. Its rooms look beautiful and some of the bathrooms feature roll-top baths.
• The 3* L’hostellerie du Chateau (Manche), an authentic medieval castle visited by Queen Victoria in 1857.
• The 2* Comfort Hotel in Evreux (Eure), close to the Evreux city centre and the countryside.

…and of course, there are many others too.

Check LateRooms out today, and I am sure you will want to return again and again to book your hotels.

Mercure Hotel and Spa Selection from £50 per Night from LateRooms

You have probably realised by now that I like LateRooms, and as is usually the case they have some great offers with the Mercure chain of Hotels and Spas (part of the Accor Hotel group).

Mercure are another chain which has some hotels with real character, many with spa facilities and in picturesque surroundings.

If you take a look at the starting prices below you will see that LateRooms has some really tempting deals. As always with LateRooms, you can use their industry-leading presentation of hotel rates to choose the dates which offer you the greatest saving. As is often the case, the best prices can be found for the rates which offer least flexibility, but if you are in a position to plan ahead and know you won’t need to cancel (or are prepared to take the risk), these non-refundable rates can be a real steal.

Enjoy your stay!

Ramada Jarvis Hotels at the Best Prices from LateRooms

I have personally stayed at Ramada Jarvis Farnham and Ramada Jarvis Leatherhead/Guildford through LateRooms, and have been very impressed with both hotels. I am now a definite fan of the Ramada Jarvis chain, and I always check the LateRooms site myself for the latest offers at these great hotels.

I was particularly impressed with the Ramada Farnham hotel (the LateRooms reviews show that over 90% would stay there again), as it is one of many in the chain with the Seb Coe health club which offers complementary indoor pool and sauna for its guests.

At their best prices, the Ramada Jarvis rooms can be as cheap as a Travelodge for late bookings, but the standard is significantly higher and the superior buffet breakfast can be included in the room rate for an extra £10 – excellent value if there are 2 or more in the room.

As a final point, Ramada Jarvis also has a worthwhile loyalty scheme… but I’ll provide more details about that next week.

In the meantime, why not take a look at the prices for Ramada Jarvis hotels through LateRooms and see for yourself why they are so popular with guests.
