Finding The Right Hotel

When traveling abroad, I usually look for Cheap Hotels – just because I cannot see why I should pay for an expensive hotel, while I spend all my time traveling in any case. Now I’m not talking about a hotel which cockroaches are crawling out from underneath your bed, but I’m not talking about a hotel with gold plated taps either!

If you’re looking to book a hotel online, before you start your travels, have a look at the sites which offer online hotel booking, you can find hotels on there that have a good reputation, but you might also need to get a home loan to afford staying in one! Maybe its different if you’re earning dollars or pounds, but here’s what I found:

When checking the availability of a hotel, you will see that the price is also provided. For interest sake, I checked a hotel in my area, a suite for two people, bed and breakfast included, was $1482.99 – for ONE night. What?!?! That is just sooo ridiculous!!

Now, I know what the prices are like in South Africa, but for ‘innocent’ tourists, this might seem like the norm – after all, there are quite a couple of hotels which are priced like this – specially to rip off tourists.

If you ever want to travel to South Africa, you’re more than welcome to ask me what a reasonable price would be to pay for a hotel.
