Choosing a budget hotel in Dubai

Hotels in Dubai are luxurious and extravagance personified. Although these hotels are every traveller’s dream, they are not for everyone’s pocket. But, Dubai has something to offer for everyone. Dubai also offers hotels which are cost-effective and relatively cheaper. If you can stand the heat, you can try visiting during the offseason. Most Dubai hotels extend promotional offers where you can gain a bargain price.

1) One such option for travellers is the ‘Dubai Youth Hostel’, especially for the backpackers. They charge around US$52 for non-member & US$46 for a member. The rates may vary a little, from time to time.
