UK travellers can now search, book and pay for last minute budget accommodation in over sixty cities worldwide with a free iPhone app from budgetplaces.com. Designed for use on the move, accommodation can be booked for the same night or up to 12 months in advance through a simple scrolling system. Payment is secure, with instant booking confirmation.

The app contains many of the features present on the main website, and users can read guest reviews and videos, see a full description of the property and view its location on Google maps.

Budgetplaces.com has more than 3,500 options, including bed and breakfasts, hostels, apartments and independent hotels. Championing the small hotelier, all rooms are centrally located and provide great value for money, with a guide price of less than £30 per person, per night.

“Travel habits are changing, gone are the days when you had to book months in advance for a short trip,” said John Erceg, managing director at budgetplaces.com. “People are now taking more impromptu breaks, looking for a short weekend to soak in the culture and attractions of cities. This app is designed to make this as easy as possible, helping them to save money on hotels and spend more on having fun.”
