Worlds cheapest hotels (listed in OTAs)
 

There are promotions from time to time that give a fixed amount of miles for a hotel booking. And there are the voucher deals like the Travelocity one that just came through some weeks ago.

I searched but could not find anything helpful - what are the places with the cheapest hotels in Expedia/ Travelocity?

My list so far (random dates in September) 1 adult/ 1 room on Expedia:

- Cochin $14
- Bangkok $9
- Phuket $9
- Bali $19
- Hanoi $13
- New Delhi $11
- Kolkatta $14
- Pattaya $14
- Krabi $9
- Chongqing $18
- Mexico City $11
- Bogota $14
- BUenos Aires $14
- Bangalore $10 (updated)

Bangalore and Phuket are the cities I normally try first. $9-10 the last time I checked.

How many stars are the hotels we're discussing here? What brands?

Brand is irrelevant for me. There is a new promotion I found that gives a fixed amount of miles per booking. So finding a VERY low cost hotel would reduce CPM nicely.

There are a number of brand specific threads for cheapest/ most expensive (best) hotel already.

Right but where are you getting these points credited to? And how many stars are the hotels that's you've shared, I'd book a couple if they're livable.

Some look ok, especially the ones in BKK. It's usually 2 stars. When I did backpacking trips $10 was my budget per night and almost always found something agreeable (though some places in Malaysia could have doubled as medieval prison). So as long as you have a sleeping bag and low expectations most places will work for you.

Thanks for the info.
I'm looking at doing a backpacking trip in the next couple years, I'll take you're info into account.

share promo?

I prefer my throw away stays in the US so weekdays in Atlantic City area can usually be found well under 20 bucks, of course Vegas too.

I will but I first like to verify that it works as intended and for that the cheapest hotel would work wonders ;)

This thread is also useful for past promos where you get a fixed discount (e.g. $200 off) for flight+hotel at an OTA that lets you book a hotel unrelated to your flight.

You might check the MR forum for old threads on promos like that. There have been some $300-off and $200-off expedia promos over the past year or two.

Can you share this promotion with us?

Warsaw (Poland): Several hostels for 15 $ on Expedia.com

Are those private rooms, or dorm beds?

Anything over $5 makes no sense for the promotion. If you find a booking for less than that I'll share the 'promo' with you via PM. I have already dine so with 2 FTers here.

highman123, just to clarify, where do we have to find these hotels that are less than $5/night? Can it be any site?
