Europe AccommodationsWhat most travelers don't know is Europe accommodations cost can be kept to a minimum if you know what to look for. There are many different accommodation options for you to chose from. Hostels and hotels are normal means of accommodations for travelers. Below a list of accommodations are listed giving you different ideas as to which you could stay at. I wan't to point out that the accommodation options listed below are by far the cheapest means of staying in Europe.
Cheap Accommodation OptionsThe cheapest and most inexpensive Europe Accommodations are campgrounds and hostels, then student dorms. When traveling to Europe, you will find many chain type hostels available although guesthouses and BB’s are more traveler friendly and offer more to the tourist. Hostels offer the greatest amount of networking and finding the cheapest travel deals as many of the occupants who stay in them are looking for the cheapest deals. If you are traveling with a large group, I recommend staying at a cottage as they offer the best bang for your buck if you are planning to stay for an extended period.Information on HostelsA quick word on staying at hostels. Some hostels have curfews and daytime lockouts. I have stayed at a few and it is not the best thing to have to deal with. When booking your hostel, be sure to ask about the rules such as curfews and lockouts so you will not come back from a wonderful day of touring and be locked out of your room. Some of the hostels on the website listed above are a part of a private hostel group. This means less rules will be imposed and you will have a lot more freedom when touring. Some even offer a breakfast in the price (which is good). I do not really stay on the subject of hotels because the cheapest rates you will find for Europe accommodations are hostels or campgrounds. However, if you plan to stay in a hotel, I have a couple tips. If you are looking for discount hotels, you will normally find them around bus and train stations. Be sure to look at your room before you actually pay for it and ask about the EXACT price when you are about to purchase it. I have fallen into a trap where I was told one price and never questioned it and then ended up paying a lot more. Also, always make sure you ask the hotel to show you a cheaper room if you cannot afford the room being shown to you. Sometimes employees of hotels in Europe are always trained to show the customer the most expensive room Europe accommodations available at the time. If business is slow, this is a great time to stay at a hotel. Hotels in Europe have been known to cut prices by 60% for a Friday and Saturday nights on a slow business week.
