Where can I stay while in Europe on a budget?
Europe actually offers a lot of opportunities for saving money. One trend that we're seeing a lot of is the very tiny hotel room. The man who invented Easy Jet has now a group of hotels, Easy Hotels, that are very small but they're very comfortable and they're relatively inexpensive. So, imagine staying in London for about half the price of what you would expect to pay. You'll be staying in a very small room, but it's also an opportunity to save money that you can spend on seeing other things, seeing other destinations, eating out at a place that you've always wanted to eat, or even getting a theatre ticket. You also don't necessarily have to stay in the best hotel. You can stay in a two-star or a three-star accommodation because you're not going to be spending that much time in your room. Yes, your surroundings do make a difference, but they only make a difference for as long as you're in the room and as long as it's safe and comfortable. Therefore it doesn't really make sense to spend a huge amount of money on a hotel room if you're on a budget.
