Guardian: How to find a cheap hotel room

Good article, in the Guardian, on how to find a cheap hotel room.

Essentially, the article recommends searching all 3 of the below comparison websites, given that the website with lowest price varies between the 3.

I have personally found that the discount sub-pages on Roomex often offer the lowest prices.

Not for hotel rooms but Airbnb offers great alternative in city locations at affordable prices if apartments or houses are an option.
