If half-naked drunken guests, cramped rooms with a dozen bunk beds, and communal bathrooms come to mind when you think of low-cost hotels and you feel like running for your life, at Room007 Select Sol you’re safe.
One of the cornerstones for Tripper is being/going local as much as possible, so I never choose a large hotel chain to stay at. I look for hotels with a backstory, a central location, and a brand that pours its heart and soul into making your experience in a new city worthwhile. Room007 Select Sol ticked every item on my list.
Since I spend more time exploring a destination than actually staying in my hotel room, I don’t need the spa experience or the three-course meal served at a Michelin starred restaurant to love a hotel. I am picky about the tiny details, though. I expect soft towels, fluffy pillows, clean bed sheets, a hairdryer (not crucial, but recommended), a clean and functional room, and I love if it doesn’t look like any other room I’ve stayed in (I have a soft spot for rooms with character). And I found all of these here.
The only low-cost sign you’ll find here, it’s the affordable room rates which go hand in hand with my frugal lifestyle as a traveler to invest in the experiences at the destination and save money on flights and accommodation.
This is a great recommendation as low-cost accom (that doesn’t look like a prison cell) in Paris is SO hard to come by! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Esther, I’m glad you liked it! Definitely, when I hear budget or low-cost it’s not rooms like these that come to mind. They’re doing a great job in making a difference 🙂
