      Hotel Hacks


      When booking your room, don't immediately think that the most expensive option is going to give you the best experience.

      In many hotels, the nicest rooms are usually those with the slightly quirky layout, or a longer walk upstairs or even those lacking a bath and as a result they are often cheaper! Attic rooms for example, are always cheaper due to the lower ceilings, but are far prettier and more characterful than the sparse feeling bigger rooms. The more expensive rooms don't even have extra facilities! Always call before booking and ask staff for their recommendation.

      Hotel upgrades cost next to nothing, so they are available if you're nice! At check in, ask if the hotel is busy during your stay.

      If the answer is no, explain why it is a special trip, or the first time you're visiting the city, then ask discreetly for an upgrade. Never request an upgrade when booking a room. They will only be given out if the hotel knows they are not full.

      It's always a good idea to request a quiet room or a higher floor on booking a hotel. It is easier to upgrade to a better room if you have previously made the effort to make contact.

      It is notorious that housekeeping staff are not well paid. Tip them on the first day and watch as extra bottles of toiletries or turndown gifts usually appear in your room.

      The easiest perks to get from a hotel are free late check-out, breakfast or even drinks at the bar. Anyone at the front desk has the ability to give these out, so if you have any complaints at all, ask away.

      Look out for the rip off hotel breakfasts - find out what you're getting before saying yes to the breakfast package.

      If it's just a cold continental which costs £15, you'll almost certainly find better value and quality at a local café!

      If you’re looking for a weekend city break, find out where the business district is. Hotels in these areas, aimed at corporate travellers, are usually quieter Friday to Sunday and often drop their rates.

      Only have one plug adapter but need to charge two devices simultaneously? Check if the TV has a USB outlet, turn on the TV and charge your phone.

      Have a special occasion? Don’t be shy! Always mention it at the front desk as it often leads to an upgrade or a surprise left in your room.

      On checkout, if the hotel asks if you'd like to pay in sterling rather than the local currency, say no. You'll get clobbered with the extra card charges.
