Whatever your hotel room requirements, wherever your destination, we hope you will find the right hotel room at AA Rooms.
For years the AA Rooms site has provided a central resource to find all your hotel needs. From budget rooms to the penthouse suite rooms, AA Rooms provide everything you need to find the lowest cost hotel rooms world wide.
Most industry insiders are predicting that this year more people will
be jetting off on city breaks, inter-railing round Europe and generally
heading off traveling in greater numbers than ever before. And they're
spoilt for choice when it comes to the sheer range of excellent accommodation
options out there.
Hostels
The number of backpackers
hostels and independent youth hostels has surged in response to increased
demand for cheap accommodation, as a result of a radical overhaul from
the travel industry in the last five years, or so.
The package
holiday - for so long a staple of summer holidays - has become chronically
unfashionable, as people increasingly looked to move away from the
uniformity that they promoted. And the conventional high street travel
agent is feeling the pinch, as people increasingly found they could
cut out the middle man and make their own arrangements online.
In
light of this, people had to find some form of affordable accommodation
on their holidays. And the answer came increasingly from the ranks
of the independent youth hostels and backpackers hostels.
Hardly
a new concept - youth hostels have been around for years now - the
necessary tweaks really started to be made back in the late 90s. In
retrospect, it's hard to see which came first, the great accommodation
or the booking sites that drive them. It goes without saying that there
couldn't be one without the other.
But with the internet, and
a series of sites who allowed their customers to 'rate' hostels came
a greater awareness of what travelers actually wanted and needed. Now
well-stocked kitchens or cool communal areas boasting libraries filled
with travel guides and DVDs, prove the rule rather than the exception.
And
just as the hostels have gained in popularity (and quality), so too
has the rest of the budget accommodation sector begun to take notice
of the numbers of people, and offering an ever-improving service for
less than you'd think.
Cheap hotels
The cheap hotel
market, so long, seemingly, a slightly complacent force reluctant to
really compete on price and relying on their hotel status, has started
to really square up to its competitors. Increasingly, owners of small
hotels are setting aside a quota of rooms online for the budget traveler,
safe in the knowledge that they will be snapped up.
What's
more many small hotels have realized that they can turn their size
into a significant advantage. Global travelers are increasingly looking
for a sense of uniqueness, of individuality. It's this desire that
has inspired the rise of the boutique hotel, a concept which the cheaper
end of the hotel market has embraced.
And there are times when
even the most ardent backpacker or roving student traveler wants freshly
pressed sheets, a hot shower to themselves and a good night's sleep.
Oh, and perhaps a mini bar.
Bed & Breakfasts
Bed & breakfasts
and guesthouses have also experienced a real resurgence in popularity
in recent years. Both generally define themselves as 'homey' and comfortable
with an emphasis on personal service rather than luxury. And their
renewed popularity has come as a result of these values being increasingly
in demand by footsore travelers.
Like the cheap hotel market
they have responded well to a shift in the market, and the recent rise
of boutique hotels by radically improving their service.
Apartments
Hovering
somewhere between the service provided by a backpackers hostel (with
a kitchen and lounge area as a general rule) and a hotel (you don't
have to share your accommodation with anyone else) renting an apartment
has become a viable alternative to the usual cheap hotel/B&B/hostel
options. The hotels sector has even responded to the demand for apartment-style
accommodation with the growth of aparthotels.
The apartment
concept can be a winning one, particularly for those traveling in groups
or those looking to stay in a town or city for more than a few days.
Groups can really fill out an apartment and make it somewhere that
they'll genuinely look forward to coming back to at the end of a long
day's sightseeing, whilst long-stayers can settle in and spread out
more than they could in a cheap hotel or hostel.
All in all,
things have rarely looked as rosy for travelers with a budget.
