  4. Consider your location: While staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, it usually tends to come with higher costs. For more affordable rates, it may be worth considering hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, balancing value with ease of access to the places you plan to visit. You might also explore independent hotels situated further afield, which can often provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
