On the Money

Who doesn’t love a good deal? We wanted to award the hotels offering some serious bang for your buck, where a bed for the night costs under £100

THE CHOW KIT, KUALA LUMPUR

Few cities offer quite the same array of bargain boltholes as the Malaysian capital, and this slick new spot — located close to the exciting hustle and bustle of Petaling Street — is the pick of the bunch. Commanding a corner in the up-and-coming edges of the city, expect a five-star look and feel at three-star prices. Its success comes from cutting back on the unnecessary extras — such as hair conditioner and body lotion. Not that it detracts from the feel of the place: the stylish lobby-restaurant-bar area is peppered with cool local art and crafts, while rooms come with big teak beds, hand-knotted rugs and monsoon showers — in short, a steal. From £40, B&B. thechowkit.com

RUNNERS- UP

HOTEL BROOKLYN, MANCHESTER

Affordable accessibility is the key here and Hotel Brooklyn has completely transformed the idea of what a wheelchair-accessible room can be.

Think sensitively designed, with hidden elements like a ceiling hoist over the bed that non-users will be unaware of. These are rooms to aim for, not avoid. A second hotel in Leicester is slated for 2022.

From £88, B&B. hotelbrooklyn.co.uk

HI NEW ORLEANS HOSTEL, NEW ORLEANS

Set in a restored historic building on the edge of the French Quarter, this smart hostel takes some beating when it comes to location. Bargain rates aside, what makes this pad stand out is its host of programmes and events designed to improve travellers’ understanding of other cultures through the medium of hostelling — so you’ll sleep easy knowing your money’s well spent.

Private doubles from $99 (£76), B&B. hiusa.org
