Affordable Hotels In The UK – The Best Budget-Friendly Stays With Roadchef
Finding Affordable Stays Without Compromise
It’s notoriously difficult to find a great hotel that combines a perfect location and comfort with a pocket-pleasing price. Or is it?
At Roadchef, we’ve worked with Wyndham for over a decade to give families, road-trippers and business travellers to find an affordable hotel in 17 great locations throughout the UK.
But that great price doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style, lose out on location or give up on comfort!
Every Days Inn by Wyndham hotel found and our pair of Super 8 by Wyndham hotels at Durham and Chester boast the latest mod-cons, comfortable beds from our partner Silentnight and great prices, all year round.
And, of course, choosing a hotel near a motorway can be a smart, cost effective choice - you can be out of bed and on the road to your next destination in no time.
Being smart when you book a budget-friendly hotel
Travelling often comes with hidden fees - be that extra pennies for baggage or a nightly electricity fee. Well, be assured that at Roadchef hotels, the price you see is the price you get.
But what should you look out for if you’re choosing an affordable hotel?
- All about the reviews. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Check TripAdvisor and Google Reviews to get the guests view. Did you know that our Super 8 by Wyndham Chester hotel appeared in TripAdvisors Top 10% of Hotels Worldwide for 2025?
- Location, location, location If you’re heading to St Ives, you don’t want to be staying in John O’Groats. That might be an extreme example - but checking where the genuine location of your hotel is is a smart move.
- Flexibility We’re not talking about rearranging the furniture! Like all of Roadchef’s 17 hotel locations, look out for your budget hotels room types for staying with a family or in two single beds. Look out for pet-friendly budget hotels - like Days Inn by Wyndham or Super 8 by Wyndham at Roadchef. Did you see our recent Head of Dog Satisfaction Campaign?
- Nearby… Who wants to stay in a hotel without options for great food and drink? Our Days Inn by Wyndham hotels are currently offering a £10 breakfast voucher for just £7.50, meaning you can get breakfast from some of the UK's biggest brands at Roadchef Motorway Services just a short walk from your hotel room.
