I don't feel the need to waste money, just because it costs more it doesn't mean it's going to be better.
Better spending the money you've saved on things that will last. "Interesting that you automatically label it a waste. Some people value amenities, surroundings, service levels, luxury, facilities etc, and if they value those things and enjoy them, then obviously it’s not a waste. Splashing money doesn’t automatically mean a product is better, agreed, but if you know what you’re spending your money on, and enjoy it, then it’s good value. Some of the most expensive meals I’ve had, for example, have also been the best value, as they have provided amazing enjoyment and memories. Likewise, some of my hotel stays. Just because you see zero value in anything other than a comfortable bed doesn’t mean that others are wrong. Each to their own! | |||

I guess it all depends how materialistic you're, I could have just as much fun camping for a weekend with a group of good friends as I could staying in a swanky hotel.

Either way I've made memories but one of them has given me more options after the weekend is over. "Yes some of my greatest memories have been free too. But the point I’m making is that if I enjoy the range and quality of facilities and services that a good hotel provides, then that’s my choice. Simply stating they hotels are just a place to sleep doesn’t respect other people’s views and preferences. If all you want is a bed, fine, that’s your choice. | |||
"I like nice hotel rooms, especially if they have a nice deep bath A bath is a luxury I don't have at home, so it's a treat to fill it with bubbles and make myself prune like" Baths … really don’t seem to be a thing in American hotels, they’re usually really shallow. Worst baths ever. | |||

"its usually cheaper on the said hotels own website , plus you get a better room as they dont have to pay commission to a third party "That’s my experience too. Direct bookings usually work best. | |||
"No such thing as a cheap hotel in a city no more. Looking at Bristol in a couple of weeks (Bristol social) and can’t find anything for less than £150 for central Bristol. I know you can’t send links, but any helpful hints appreciated. " Have you tried Airbnb? | |||
"No such thing as a cheap hotel in a city no more. Looking at Bristol in a couple of weeks (Bristol social) and can’t find anything for less than £150 for central Bristol. I know you can’t send links, but any helpful hints appreciated. " I've stayed in all sorts of places...from hostels to BNbs to luxury hotels. I feel weird in a luxury hotel....cause I'm not used to all the luxury and I don't use all the luxury. Lol! Hostel with friends was pretty cool. as well as hotels with family where we all sleep top to toe in one bed. Lol! I prefer smaller hotels with the basics where I can see the owner/staff every day and have a chat. The bigger the hotel and the more demanding the guests the less of a personalised service you get in my experience. UK hotel, rail and taxi prices are the reason, I do not go on holiday in the UK. my friends that have the best times in the UK, go and stay in a caravan or campsite...I do not have much of a tolerance for being cold, wet and muddy but the caravan sounds ok as long as everything works so you can get clean, warm and dry. | |||
"^^ memories last Yeah I still remember the time I had a glass of champagne from a bottle that my friend got given by his boss, tasted like toilet cleaner and cost £250 "Cackle... Some people like the finer things in life..some of us like the simpler things in life like sunning my naked fat arse with a bottle of rose that I got from the French Spar ( a dream I hope to replicate soon)..I draw the line at camping...I'm only going camping in the desert. I don't like being cold, wet and muddy. I do not know how the Glastonbury kids do it.  | |||

I have no idea, it was a small bottle as well and I'd rather have a prosecco or jd and mixer "Problem solved, order a drink that you actually loke! ?? Most times, I enjoy a pint, particularly Guinness when I am back home in Dublin. But I enjoy wine with a meal. Champagne? I don’t really see much difference between a house champagne and a premium marque, but not a fan of Prosecco at all, way too sweet. If you like Prosecco, have you tried Asti Spumante? | |||

"I think most people won't know what they like unless they go to a tasting that is properly paired with food/appetisers and they have the time to smell and savour the flavour...slowly. Now there's a rum vault in Barbados that doesn't require food...Lol! People just have their preferences from the knowledge and resources that they have. I don't like beer but I'll have a shandy. I don't like Guinness but I will drink Jamaican Guinness punch. It might be part of my autistic masking but I can slot in where necessary and not turn up my nose at the most luxury or the most cheap/simple/homely things. But my happiest default is the chill vibes at the beach. Like I remember coming back from the beach and unfortunately covering my hotel room in sand. lol! I'd feel guilty if the maid had to clean that up every day...even though I know it's her job. yeah I'm the one who cleans most of the sand out of the rental jeep before I send it back to the car hire company. Lol! yes I'm the one who cleans and clears that table after I'm finished at KFC/Caffe Nero. Unfortunately, I think everything is just more expensive due to Covid, Brexit and the cost of living/inflation. We just make do and mend and read money saving expert. lol! | |||

Really? You’ve been saying you see no point in a hotel other than a comfy bed!
I’m confused now …
Sometimes I just need somewhere to stay, and a basic hotel or bnb does the trick. Other times, hotel facilities and quality are more important … different trips, different choices
I didn't say that, look back at the wording
I said what's the point in spending lots on one.
For me it just needs a good bed, be clean and have a shower that works "Yeah, I remember that bit thanks. Just not sure how it squares with “I love swanky hotels” | |||
"I like a nice hotel, I'd pay the extra for the fancy stuff. What's the point? As long as the bed is comfy and room is clean Effort PD, effort and nice things. Splashing cash isn't making effort No splash, no gash Depends who you're meeting
People with class
My friend above doesn’t have class then, is that what you're saying?
Truth hurts hun.
It's like taking Big Harold right up the bum
Didn’t enjoy that either, no?
Not one bit "At least you tried. | |||

"^^ memories last Yeah I still remember the time I had a glass of champagne from a bottle that my friend got given by his boss, tasted like toilet cleaner and cost £250
Still a memory and it cost you nothing
Seriously I like 'nice' hotels but that's just me. If other people don't think they're worth the money that's alright by me.
I love swanky hotels, just can't afford them

"Hotels have become very expensive in the post lockdown era, definitely. " That’s what I have seen too. I spoke to a friend in the travel industry, and he said it’s very pronounced in destinations / hotels that have a strong number of visitors from the US … so finding locations that aren’t popular with Americans is more likely to help in finding a reasonable rate. For example, Florence and Venice, prices have gone through the roof, but somewhere like Trieste offers better value in Italy. | |||

"Thank you so much everyone for your comments, great to hear reasons for and against different options. I quite like the idea of an über, that way we can maybe get something a little more for our money on the outskirts, rather than the expensive central city mid range hotels. So back to searching with a little wider look. Only ever used uber once, so will see how it goes "Air BnB might be worth looking at | |||
