  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to major attractions or city centres may provide convenience but typically comes with a higher price tag. For more economical options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located further afield, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
