Budget hotels discussion

[route101]

I agreed 100%

For early January this year, My wife and I got a Saturday & Sunday night at the Inverness (River Ness) P.I. for the bargain price of £72

The same room for mid-August would cost us £457 .. that's why went in January

The Premier Inns in the Highlands must get booked up early. Supply and Demand.

Have you any good recommendations for city hotels in Germany, or the Benelux countries please ?

Start by looking at booking.com or Expedia. There are hotels in other countries which aren't on there, but not to the same extent as Travelodge or PI.

For chains it's usually worth booking them direct from their own websites once you've found one you like. Bear in mind that the points can mount up fast on loyalty schemes, with some working out at 1 free night in every 5-10 - if you're looking at repeat trips to a particular part of Europe that can mount up quickly.

For non-chains you want to go carefully through recent reviews looking for complaints about things that would annoy you. 5 nights booked through booking.com will also get you access to some alright discounts, rising to decent discounts if you book 15 nights or more
