Global Budget Hotels publishes plain-English guides to sleeping well on a small budget: where to stay in a city, what a night really costs, and which traps to avoid.

What you will find here

• City guides: the best neighbourhoods for a cheap stay, typical price bands, transport and what budget gets you.
• Chains and formats: budget chains, hostels, capsule and pod hotels compared.
• Booking tips: fees, cancellation rules and when to book.
• Cost guides: what accommodation costs in different parts of the world.

How we work

Our guides are research-based. We read official hotel and tourism-board pages, transport operators and reputable travel sources, and we link to them. We give price ranges rather than exact quotes, and we say when they were checked, because hotel prices change constantly. We do not claim to have stayed in places we have not.

We do not accept guest posts or paid links.
