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.
Staying 10–15 minutes from the centre can save £30–50/night. Check transport links — good public transport makes a peripheral location perfectly workable.
A 3-star hotel with a 4.4 rating often beats a 4-star with a 3.8. We rank by guest score, not just stars. A higher-rated lower-star property is usually the smarter pick.
The most affordable options are Hotel Raj, La Antaraa, Arun Lodge & Cottage. However, we rank by guest rating first — a slightly higher price for a much higher-rated property is usually better value overall.
Book directly with the hotel or via comparison sites during shoulder season. Once booked, use TripSage to get a free briefing — knowing the best room to request can make a budget stay feel much more premium.
