Guest houses instead of expensive hotels: what are the main benefits?

Just yesterday I came across an interesting article in the local magazine. If you are already guessing the topic of the article, I am here to help you. Well, it wasn’t about any movie star or cricketer; it was about the way people prefer local guesthouses to luxury hotels. In short, visitor lodges are back in fashion. In fact, both corporate and family people choose inns over high-end hotels.

It’s not surprising to me as I love staying in a visitor hostel rather than an expensive hotel. I will explain the basic reasons in the remaining part of my article. According to the magazine article, the global financial downturn is one of the main reasons people show more interest in guesthouse accommodation. Considering the current state of the world economy, most people cannot afford a vacation abroad today, and this trend can be expected to continue for a long time. Even for those who prefer to stay at home, a vacation on a budget is a good option. This type of accommodation is very popular as it is the most profitable place to stay.

Even if you’re not a budget-minded traveler, here are some valid reasons behind the immense popularity of guesthouses over expensive five-star hotels.

Cozy environment

The phrase “visitor hostel” generally invites images of dirty rooms, worn sheets, and a lack of facilities. If you are thinking along the same lines, it is likely that you still reside in the past. These days, guesthouses are elegant, ornate, and most importantly, comfortable. The rooms in these lodges are fairly clean, without too much clutter or frills. This gives it a homey feel, something you really need when on vacation.

Pleasant experience

Previously, guest cabins were small and generally owned by middle-class people. However, nowadays, they are also popular with business owners and corporate people. In addition, the owners of these guest houses usually belong to humble backgrounds and know the exact demands of their clients. In short, they take all the necessary steps to make sure their clients feel calm and comfortable. This personal relationship creates a family atmosphere, the highest priority for any vacation enthusiast.

Ease of cooking

Most of these hostels have cooking spaces and clients can use this area as they please. These facilities are generally not available in five-star hotels. In addition to saving a lot of money, you can eat according to your preference, even in a foreign land.
