Do you consider £275 a night a very expensive hotel?

[turnishe]

We are looking to stay at a small family run hotel. It's £275 a night. We can afford it but don't usually spend much more than £150 a night on a room.

The hotel is unique in some respects in that it's in a converted castle and has beautiful views and a lovely outdoor pool. Weather permitting of course.

Not cheap, but not expensive, particuarly if it's split between two people. Sounds an amazing location - I would go for it!

What country ?
What are the facilities ?

Yes I do.

Yes, I would say that was expensive. We tend to stay in Premier Inns though

That's a treat night. We'd pay that for somewhere special. We have our special.place with a Michelin starred restaurant which we visit once a year, similarly en-route to to our house in France we have a favourite hotel which is our treat about 300 miles in.

depends on location

Yeah I usually aim for £150 but do pay more if it’s a particularly expensive location. I would happily pay £275 for one or two nights in a really lovely hotel though if it was the kind of place we’d be making the most of the setting and facilities! But not for a week long holiday.

Definitely not cheap, but not super-expensive either. My idea of expensive is £400-ish a night. I wouldn’t pay £275 for an average 4-star hotel night, but I would for a special treat.

I've just looked up how much it costs to stay in the hotel of the White Lotus in Taormina - up to 10k per night! £275 is small beans 😂😂

It’s not the cheapest, but my local Premier Inn reaches over £200 at times of high demand, so … 🤷‍♀️

Totally depends on the location and the hotel. For a Travelodge in Sunderland, yeah, that’s expensive. For a 5 star hotel in the Lake District with a spa and pool, £275 is bang average.

It totally depends on location, dates and facilities. You could pay that for a Travelodge or Premier Inn I Edinburgh during the Fringe for example. I think it's about average for a 4* in a capital city, it's expensive if it's somewhere less in demand and run of the mill. It sounds like a unique place which always comes at a price.

It's too expensive for me, but it's not super, ridiculously expensive. I think if you can afford it and it's a special hotel then go for it.

For an amazing venue and 1-2 nights - yes.

Saying that, £250 is easy to reach in Bath during Christmas market times for a nice but non-outstanding hotel so it all depends on so many factors.

No, we target an average of £250 a night when staying abroad - we multi stop on most holidays though, so some nights will be cheap hotels at £100 a night, and we try and treat ourselves to one nice hotel of £300ish a night.

I’d see £275 as acceptable if the hotel was nice enough.

It really depends on location. I’ve been looking for a family hotel room for one Saturday night in August - £275 would be the dream! So far somewhere decent is around £400+

No, I’d consider it an average cost of a room for one night, not the cheapest but far from luxury or expensive.

Yes it's expensive imho @turnishe

Not particularly expensive these days, unfortunately.

That sounds standard to mid-range. £1,000 per night is expensive!

Depends so much on location, facilities etc. it is on the expensive side for ordinary people but compared to truly expensive hotels it’s downright cheap! (think £10k a night) I’ve quite often had to pay close to £200 for fairly average hotels because that’s the going rate and £300 a night for a better option etc London, New York. Money is so relative to what you earn and your outgoings.

It depends where and what facilities it has, I would consider it expensive but also it does sound unique so as a one off it’s reasonable.

I’ve just booked 10 different hotels for a road trip and they range from £35 (thank you Porto) to £220 in Bilbao (and that was not even that close!)

My mum and I are usually over £200 when we go to the Premier Inn near the Playhouse in Edinburgh every time we go to a show, prices have definitely shot up depending on what’s on nearby so I wouldn’t be surprised at £275 for even a basic hotel now sadly.

DH and I had a night in Dundee recently and the Premier there was going to be £120 so we stayed at the Malmaison which was under £90 instead.

That hotel sounds like it would be lovely though, if reviews are great and you can afford it then I would go and enjoy it.

@turnishe , you don’t specify which country and what’s included which makes a huge difference but aside of a Premier Inn type establishment in the UK I would view that as the minimum I would expect to pay per night for a hotel room and my expectations would be limited.
