]]>Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is the most popular hospitality exchange service in the entire world and it allows you to stay with locals all over the world, free of charge.
Camping
If you’re hitting the road in spring or summer, camping is your best bet. You might spend extra money on your baggage so you could bring your tent, but it will be worth it since you’ll get to sleep underneath the stars.
Family Visits
If you have family or friends living in a foreign country, you can use your trip to spend some time together and they might even invite you to stay over if they have room.
Airbnb
Renting private accommodation will never be cheaper than staying in a hostel dorm, but Airbnb is generally cheaper than hotels, so make sure to give it a try.
Affordable Destinations
Your accommodation will be as affordable as the destination you pick. If you don’t want to stay at a hostel, opt for cheaper destinations where you won’t break the bank renting an apartment.

The low costs of accommodation, food, and shopping in the area open the door to guilt-free traveling. There’s literally no catch!

Other than Warsaw, there are many other locations in Poland that are worth visiting if you’re into exploring the country a little further.

Other attractive options are the historical Malbork Castle, the Tatra National Park, and the picturesque town of Zakopane, which is a popular winter getaway destination. With so many different options, Poland’s got something for everyone.

]]>Good Location
Booking a cheap hostel that doesn’t have a central location will cost you money in the long run. You’ll also end up wasting time commuting across the city every time you want to reach the top attractions that you came here for in the first place.
Read Reviews
Never book a hostel – no matter the price – before reading the reviews. Rating is a good indicator of how good this place is, but feedback from your fellow travelers is equally important, especially if you’re focusing on a certain aspect of the hostel, such as comfort and cleanliness.
Food Situation
Many hostels – even the cheap ones – offer free breakfast to their guests. If you stumble upon a decent hostel that offers free food to their guests that’s just a little bit more expensive than the cheapest option, make sure to consider it because you’ll end up saving money on food this way.

]]>Sydney, Australia
Visiting Sydney without breaking a bank seems like a mission impossible because plane tickets don’t come cheap. Fortunately, accommodation isn’t as expensive, and dorm prices near the city center start at only $10!
Tokyo, Japan
A visit to Tokyo will also set you back by less money than you expect. If you’re ready to stay outside the heart of the city, decent dorm rooms can be found for between $10 and $15 per night.
London, The UK
London is much more expensive than some other European capitals, but the prices of hostel dorm rooms aren’t significantly higher. It’s much more affordable than all the Scandinavian capitals, and you can easily find a dorm going for between $10 and $15, just like in Tokyo.

]]>The post 3 Things You Should Keep in Mind Before Booking Hotel on the Outskirts appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Money Moves
Accommodation on the outskirts tends to be more affordable, but you should keep other expenses in mind. You’ll have to spend extra money on public transportation every time you go somewhere, and your bills will go through the roof if you have to take a cab or an Uber after a night out.
Wasting Time
Hotels located far from the city center are also a bad idea if you’re short on time. Instead of wasting time on a metro or a bus, pick accommodation that’s located in close proximity to top tourist spots, so you would have time to check out everything you want.
Full Experience
Staying in the very heart of the city will make you feel like a true local, and you won’t get that kind of experience on the outskirts. Once you’re far away from all the landmarks this place is known for, it will just feel like any other city in the world.

]]>Booking
The most popular directory for online reservations comes with a wide range of options, but the decent ones usually start at around $40. It’s a bit pricy, but fortunately some of them are located in the very heart of the city and come with a free breakfast.
AirBnb
Rooms on AirBnb are even more expensive than on Booking, but they may be a good option if you’re looking for something cozier. Just keep in mind that service and cleaning fee can be pretty price while going through search results.
Couchsurfing
At the end of the day, if every room you stumble upon seems to be out of your price range and you’re brave enough to try something new, Couchsurfing is totally free and your host may be willing to show you around the city.

]]>Restless Sleep
If you can’t fall asleep when it’s too noisy around you, dorms in party hostels are simply not for you. People will be coming and going in the middle of the night, disrupting your sleep on every turn, and there’s pretty much nothing you can do about it.
Lacking Comfort
Party hostels may be fun, but comfort and cleanliness usually aren’t their strongest suits. The majority of people staying here are just looking for a place to crash, so the owners of these hostels usually don’t invest too much in comfy beds and healthy breakfast.
Timing Issues
If you have limited time to explore a new city, staying at a party hostel may not be the best idea. Instead of getting a good night’s sleep and waking up early to explore top attractions, you’ll end up sleeping in because you’re too tired from partying and miss out on everything else.
