MattJimF 941 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Travel lodge? Premier inn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Milne 10 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 aye, theyre both about 65 quid a room.which is ok.but just thought id post in case somewhere here knew / family ran or worked in a place thatd be cheaper than the standard travelodge / holiday inns.maybe it was wishful thinking and theyre the cheapest.

Graeme 20 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 aside from telling them to wise up, im looking for cheap alternatives.That is what you should do! Depending on how far ahead you're booking it is worth checking Travelodge for cheaper deals although typically these seem to be less available in Aberdeen than elsewhere. But sometimes, especially weekends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alphas 98 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Aberdeen City Centre Hotel - Premier Aberdeen Hotel HomeThis is the place on Belmont Street.Might be worth looking at places like the Dutch Mill, The Globe or there is a small hotel just off of Great Northern Road (can't remember the name) that might be quite cheap.

Moose 807 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Brilliant business idea to fund my university career:put touring bands up for cheaper than hotel but nicer than hostel conditions. I have a living room, which belongs to my landlord, who just happens to be my house mate...I have never been on tour but the thought of sleeping on floors every night sounds awful. I am probably the worst wannabe rockstar EVER though.Surely hostels are of a high enough quality to stay in when touring and if these standards don't suffice I would expect a band to have ascertained a relative amount of success to be so picky. Prima-donnas I tell ye, teh lot of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free Korps 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 i managed to get a room in the Thistle hotel on union terrace for 39.01, booked 4 days before i stayed there, cheaper than a taxi home for me! was night before the dons game which ended up being cancelled against Falkirk in Dec.as mentioned previous if you got a saver deal at travelodge that could be cheapest option, especially if you're lucky enough to get deal, obviously depends on the night / when you book. fri-sun tend to be cheaper but occasional 29 deals on other nights...
