When it comes to travelling, many people opt for 5 star hotels as they offer high quality accommodation, facilities and services. However, there are many reasons why you should choose a 3 or 4 star hotel when travelling to Cape Town.
Firstly, 3 and 4 star hotels in Cape Town are often a fraction of the price of 5 star hotels. This means you can enjoy all the same amazing experiences and attractions in the city while spending less money.
Secondly, 3 and 4 star hotels offer great facilities and services, often just as good as those offered by 5 star hotels. For example, many of the hotels in this category have swimming pools, gyms, restaurants and bars on site, ensuring you have everything you need right at your fingertips.
Thirdly, Cape Town is an amazing city with a huge amount to see and do, and you don’t need to be staying in a 5 star hotel to experience it all. There are plenty of 3 and 4 star hotels located in great locations, close to all the city’s main attractions.
Finally, by staying in a 3 or 4 star hotel, you free up extra money to spend on other aspects of your trip, such as experiences, tours, and sightseeing. This can help make your holiday even more memorable.
So, next time you’re planning a holiday to Cape Town, don’t automatically rule out the 3 and 4 star hotels – they may be a better option for you than you think!.
