Hotels

Try to book your room in advance as they may not have the availability or requirements you wish if you leave it until the last minute. Also you can get a better deal if you book early. Some hotels do cheaper weekend deals or include theatre or museum tickets. Make sure your room is confirmed before departing and take the letter of confirmation with you. In many hotels, children can sleep in the same room as you for no extra charge. However, there are some hidden costs such as tax and occasional car park rates.

Hostels

Hostels have progressed with the modern world and there are many that provide private rooms and facilities, much like staying in a hotel, less expensive. However, if you are planning on running on a budget, you can get cheaper places. These usually have dormitory style rooms and communal wash facilities.
