Citadines Barbican London

The 129-room, lower-middle-range Citadines Barbican offers contemporary apartment-style accommodation a two-minute walk from the Barbican tube station. Note that while the property is accepting guests, it’s undergoing renovations until May 2017. Its modern studios and one-bedroom apartments come with kitchenettes, dining areas, and en-suite bathrooms, plus flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi is free. Note that rooms have few electrical sockets and guests must dispose of trash. Free tea and coffee is available 24 hours in the lobby, and breakfast is available for a fee. There are a business center and laundry facilities on-site for guests, and travelers appreciate its proximity to the vibrant dining and nightlife scene. For a more traditional hotel feel with a restaurant and fitness center, consider the nearby (but pricier) Apex Temple Court. 

Theater Hotel

The Theater Hotel is a no-frills, budget property located in Brussels’ red-light district — a problem for some guests, though it’s just a two-minute walk from public transit and a 15-minute walk from the city center. Its 46 rooms, which can accommodate two to four guests, are spacious and fairly clean, though they’re simple with some wear and tear. Flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and en-suite bathrooms are standard, and many suites feature kitchenettes, but the usual perks, like electric kettles and AC, are missing. The hotel has a bright breakfast room, and a daily buffet is available for an extra fee, but there are few other property features. If the location in the heart of the red-light district is a deal-breaker, travelers could consider the Hotel Queen Anne, an affordable property with similar amenities.

Villagio Verde

Villagio Verde is a two-and-a-half-pearl hotel set on a lush hillside just outside of Roatan’s West End. The hotel’s four air-conditioned rooms (combinable into two suites) are simple and well-kept, and include rainfall showers and private balconies with hammocks. Stone pathways crisscross the resort’s tropical grounds, full of palms, fruit trees, and blossoming flowers. There’s a small plunge pool surrounded by lounge chairs and the beach is a four-minute drive away. Delicious breakfasts are included with all stays and other amenities include a shared kitchen, DVD library, and generator to cover the island’s all-too-common power outages. Children under 12 aren’t allowed, so guests looking for a family-friendly stay should consider the nearby Seagrape Roatan, with its seaside pool, sprawling grounds, and oceanfront rooms.
