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.

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.
