  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation nearer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience, but it often comes with a heftier price tag. For those seeking more affordable options, it’s worth considering hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and ease of access to your desired destinations. You might also explore independent hotels situated further afield, which are usually likely to be more affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
