Motels

Motel rooms are a very practical cheap hotel choice for holidaymakers travelling by car. Whether you are driving from London to Venice or from Paris to Prague you will find plenty of modern good-quality motels to break your journey. The convenience of roadside locations in city outskirts allows you to get back on the road early the next day. Motels have no problem with late arrivals and early departures, and are a great standby when journeys do not go to plan! Cheap motel accommodation is also a popular choice for those travelling on business. Upmarket motel accommodation is a convenient location for business meetings. Motels are a very cheap holiday hotel option. Many motels are cheaper than 2 star hotels in the city centre. You can search and book motels online or by phone with directline-hotels.

 

Motels on the outskirts of city break destinations like Brussels and Berlin avoid having to drive into congested city centres. Driving and parking in cities like Rome and Madrid is not for the feint hearted! Recent years have seen the arrival of a new generation of motels offering very inexpensive rooms close to motorways, main roads, major towns and the periphery of cities like Amsterdam and Barcelona. Several motel chains now offer modern motel-style rooms in countries like France, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Germany and Greece. The vast majority of visitors book motel rooms for a single night. The very nature of motel business means less of a relationship with owners and staff than you would expect to find in a B&B hotel or 2 star hotels in city centres. In fact countries across Europe from Portugal to Turkey have seen the arrival of cheap “self-service” motels where visitors can check in and out virtually unassisted.

 

Modern day motels have successfully shaken off the rather down-at-heel image of USA motels familiar from countless Hollywood movies! Today’s motel chains offer fast efficient service and clean, bright comfortable rooms. However, while many motels offer amenities like cafes and restaurants don’t expect to find 5 star hotel restaurants, resort hotel swimming pools or boutique hotel panache! Motel buildings tend to be rather functional in design. Our online hotel search will keep you up to date with cheap motel offers and the latest discount motel deals.
