THE UK isn't short of budget hotel chains, with some rooms for as little as £19.
And as a cheap traveller myself, I've stayed in many of them along the way.
But choosing which budget hotel can be tricky – so we've compared the big names Premier Inn, Travelodge and easyHotel to find out which is the best.
Here are the pros and cons of each cheap hotel chain, as well as how much they cost.
With more than 800 hotels, Premier Inn has the cheapest rooms from £21 at their Zip hotels.

There are more than 590 Travelodge hotels, with rooms from £34.

The smallest chain of the bunch – with just 43 hotels in the UK – easyHotel has rooms starting from £25.20.

For me, Premier Inn stands out, not just because it is the cheapest on the list.
It is at some of the best locations, being at most major airports and all cities, but my rooms have always been clean.
Not only that, but the food options, including the breakfast and dinner, nearly always hit the spot, especially for how little they cost.
It also gets high marks for its upgrade options which include its SuperRooms and their "quiet" floors.
However, there is nothing wrong with an easyHotel or Travelodge – easyHotel is the most modern and Travelodge is in some amazing locations, including airports – so depending on which is cheaper, you can't really go wrong.
