Room selection matters
In budget hotels, room quality varies significantly. Always get a TripSage briefing before checking in — it tells you which floors are quietest and which rooms to avoid.
Location trade-off
Staying 10–15 minutes from the centre can save £30–50/night. Check transport links — good public transport makes a peripheral location perfectly workable.
