The type of accommodation that you need for your next break will depend a great deal on where you are going and who is going with you. Holiday accommodation ranges from hostels to 5 star hotels, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each one.
Hotels
Hotels come in all shapes and sizes, but they are a great choice if you are going on holiday with your family. This is because they are comfortable, provide meals and plenty of other facilities too. There may be babysitting services so that you can go out in the evening without the children, or they may have pools or play areas where you can entertain the children during the day.
They also have the facilities in the rooms that you need. Plenty of space in wardrobes for women’s dresses and other clothes, good-sized bathrooms, tea and coffee-making facilities and televisions.
The hotel may also offer evening entertainment. This could be anything from a game of bingo to a show. This type of thing might affect what you pack for your holiday – you might need more evening wear than you previously considered. Luckily, elegant looking women’s dresses that are suitable for a night out are easily found and very affordable. Taking care of women’s dresses in a hotel is also very easy as they often have laundry services and will provide you with an iron if you need one.
Hostels
Hostels are the ideal choice if you are backpacking and on a low budget. Whether you are travelling with a friend or not, they offer basic accommodation at a good price. They are ideal if you only want to stay in one place for a night or two. However, as the accommodation is basic you should not expect to get all the facilities that you get in a hotel.
Some hostels provide a kitchen, rather than provide a breakfast. It will be up to you to arrange your own food. They almost never have a restaurant for a lunch or evening meal either. You may have to share a bathroom with others and in some cases, you may have to share a room, although very few hostels have shared rooms now.
The best tip is to check in advance to make sure the facilities are what you need for your stay. Call the accommodation in advance if you have any specific requirements and see what they can arrange.
