How to Save Money on Hotel For Your Next Family Vacation

Basecamp Bonn Youth Hostel

In the first half of the year, many families make travel plans for December when kids are on school holidays and after a year long of slog – for a short getaway to escape the monotonous life in Singapore.

Factors that come into consideration are whether the place is child-friendly and if there are enough activities for the kids to keep them occupied whilst still enjoying the trip with your partner.

There is one important thing that is often overlooked in the planning: what accommodation to book for the entire family?

As December is a peak season where everyone is travelling, you would expect demands for hotel rooms to go up and prices will follow suit.

A family suite in a hotel is going to stretch your budget – so why not save the money and check out hostels and other affordable accommodations?

What? But does that means less comfort and services?

Well, not really.

Global PR and Content Manager at HotelsCombined, Alycia Simons said in a media release that demands for such affordable family accommodation are increasing and so are hostel options. They can accommodate many people in the same room and are centrally located. What’s even better is you can essentially save more money with free shuttle buses, laundry rooms and self catering kitchens.

Gone are the days when families with young kids were relegated to theme park destinations and buffet restaurants. Holidaying families are growing increasingly adventurous and are interested in an ever-expanding assortment of experiences – nothing is off limits anymore.

According to HotelsCombined, these are the features to look for when booking a family-friendly hostel:

  • Family rooms (ideally located on a separate floor from other door rooms for noise control)
  • Ensuite bathrooms
  • Child-friendly amenities (cots, highchairs, etc.)
  • Entertainment offerings (video games, board games, a pool, etc)

With a database of over 800,000 properties, the search filters on Money Digest’s Search Engine make it particularly easy to locate family-friendly properties.
