First, check a hotel price aggregator to compare prices and get a general baseline for per night rates. I like using Trivago and then cross-checking reviews with TripAdvisor. However, be aware that many countries<\/a> impose a room tax and these extra fees might not be shown until the final checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hostel is not exactly an accurate representation<\/a> of a hostel. Hostels are clean and most importantly affordable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These days, staying in a hostel doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you even have to stay in a dorm as private rooms are available and often much cheaper than a room you might find in a hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotel Bidding: Let me be honest, it takes time and patience to do correctly. Especially in the United States, certain websites have popped up like Priceline that allows you to pick your own price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long will your trip be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, be careful. This option only really works if you\u2019re ok with staying at any hotel Priceline picks for you within your dates of stay, zone, and quality preferences. This means that Priceline will give you a 4-star hotel in section A, but it might give you a 4-star hotel in the part of section A you don\u2019t want to be in. In large metropolitan<\/a> areas where there\u2019s plenty of fast public transport though, this is OK. There\u2019s a really handy guide here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
