Get More for Your Money

You can start getting more from your accommodation while you’re planning it. If you have an accommodation budget, you need to find out where your money will be best spent. First, think about what your priorities are so that you can make the right choice. Use Guest Reservations or a similar website to compare accommodation and find the best prices. You might discover that you can get more for your money by staying in a certain neighborhood or choosing a particular style of accommodation. Large groups could get more by choosing an apartment or house over a hotel.

Meet Other Travelers

Your accommodation is the ideal place to meet other travelers, although some are more suited to it than others. Hostels are the ultimate place for meeting others, full of other travelers. However, you don’t have to stay in a hostel to make friends. Guest houses and B&Bs are also ideal, and usually give you a chance to chat with the owner or host too. Even hotels can be good for meeting others, although it’s better if there’s a bar or a similar social space. Choose carefully if you’re hoping to make friends.

Use the Amenities

If you choose accommodation with great facilities and amenities, don’t let them go to waste. Many great hotels have a bar or restaurant, a gym and even a spa. Some have business suites, which can be useful if you’re traveling for business, or just computers that you can use. Make sure that you take full advantage of the things that are available to you, especially if they’re included in the price of your room. You’ll often pay more for better facilities, so make the most of them.

Get Advice from the Concierge (or Receptionist)

If your accommodation has a receptionist or even a concierge, they should have good local knowledge. Tap into what they know to help make your trip more exciting and to make more of your accommodation. Ask them for restaurant recommendations or ideas for things to do. Don’t forget that they’re there for you if you need anything, whether you’ve forgotten your toothbrush or there’s a problem in your room. They might have time for just a friendly chat when it’s not so busy, as well.
