There comes a time in the life of every traveler when you wake up and think ' I really should have spent the extra $50 for a better hotel.' Maybe it was the bed bugs. Maybe it was the noise from the Ukrainian field hockey team next door. Maybe it was just because at some point you realize that you’re just not a hostel-type of person anymore. We’re with you.

We asked ourselves a simple question: Is it still possible to find really cool and unique hotels for under $150 a night? The answer, we’re happy to tell you, is YES. We’ve scoured the planet and found an incredible selection of beautiful, safe hotels that you’ll be glad to call home for a night, a weekend or a month. They may be small in size but they’re huge in personality.

They’re unique. They’re clean. They’re safe. They’re affordable. They’re perfect.

Welcome to the evolution of Independent Travel. We’re busy loading all of the hotels into our system and building out the easiest online booking process we could think of. In the meantime e-mail us your questions, fill out our online form when you know where you’re going or give us a call. We’ve got perfect guesthouses all over the world and you can thank us later
