If you don't know what you're doing then finding accommodation for your holiday can prove to be a real pain, particularly if you're working on a budget. There are literally so many options out there for finding great hotel deals and all it takes is a little bit of initiative providing you do it right, you can stand to save a very tidy sum of money and have all the more cash to spend doing what you want to be doing while you're away (as opposed to fluttering it away on a hotel room).
The first option you have is a hostel and we advise not to immediately be put off by the fact it's actually called a hostel. There are many connotations that spring to the mind when you think of hostels however they needn't be the student filled party zone they are made out to be there are also a very large number of hostels out there which offer single room accommodation for prices far cheaper than you would expect to pay at a hotel. You're also far more likely to strike up a conversation with someone at a hostel than you would be at your local Hilton, which is always a bonus particularly if you're travelling alone.
The best way to find hostels is to consult the various hostel price comparison sites such as Hostel World or Hostel Bookers both of these options allow you to choose between hostels all over the world and also, most importantly, sort by price and average reviews. If you want to save even more money on hostel accommodation then try the Youth Hostel Association Discount Card, which will entitle you to up to 3 off per night at many hostels across the globe.
Another good way to save money on hotels is to opt for a budget option such as Travelodge or Premier (which are two of the more popular options in the UK). While this may sound like fairly unoriginal advice, you can save more money with either of these options by trying to locate some of the latest coupon codes or discount codes around the web Travelodge in particular recently offered a discount code which enabled people to claim a room at just 9 per night.
