When travelling, most people look for comfort and convenience, which is why expensive hotels are generally chosen. However, this is not always the best option, especially when travelling to a city like Cape Town in South Africa. Here are four reasons why cheap hotels are a better choice when travelling to Cape Town:

1. Cheap hotels are more affordable. This means that you can save money that can be used for other things, such as sightseeing or food.

2. Cheap hotels are often in prime locations. This means that you will be close to all the action and can enjoy all that the city has to offer.

3. Cheap hotels offer the same level of comfort and convenience as expensive hotels. This is because they often have the same amenities, such as a swimming pool, restaurant and bar.

4. Cheap hotels often offer better value for money. This means that you can get more for your money, which is great if you are on a tight budget.
