Munich - Cocoon


‘Das Oktoberfest’ has past, but Munich is also big fun during Christmas. They even say the glittering capital of Bavaria is the ideal base if you want to go skiing. One way to save money in this glam city is staying at the Cocoon. 46 funky rooms some with balcony and near the subway.

Price: only 45 euro per person.
Check out their Xmas special!

Oporto - Starinn Hotel


Forget Lisbon, visit Oporto - Portugals second city. European Capital of Culture in 2001 and with a historic centre declared Unesco World Heritage in 1996. Here you'll taste excellent wines, enjoy great architecture and eat fresh sardines at long beaches.

Convinced? Then I might have a great place for you to stay. The Starinn Hotel, Oporto's first low cost design hotel. With LCD flatscreen, air conditioning and power shower in the room. In fact all you'll find in a luxury hotel but without paying the price.

Price: from 29.99 euro per room!

Valencia - Botánico 29

Valencia is the new Barcelona only with less tourists. And with a budget design accommodation like Botánico 29 this new hot city becomes even more attractive.
Botánico 29 has 4 trendy one bed room appartements and 2 trendy two bed room appartements. But no lift so do not bring too much luggage. The old town with lots of restaurants and little boutiques is at walking distance and the beach is a 20 minute tram ride away. Tip: have lunch at La Pepica celebrated for great paella and famous guests like Hemingway

Price: from 20 euro per person per night
