Planning a trip to Itanagar and looking for a budget hotel? Great choice — Itanagar is a beautiful place to relax and explore.But when you try to save money on hotels, you have to be careful. A cheap room is not always a good one. Some travelers book the wrong place and end up with problems like dirty rooms, noisy areas, or surprise charges.
To help you avoid that, here are 5 common mistakes people make while booking budget hotels in Itanagar — and how you can make a better choice.
1.Choosing the Cheapest Hotel Without Checking What’s Included
It’s tempting to pick the lowest price. But sometimes, cheap hotels charge extra for:
- Wi-Fi
- Breakfast
- Hot water
- Early check-in
So you may end up paying more later.
Tip: Always check what’s included in the price. A slightly higher price may actually be better if it gives you more services for free.
2.Not Reading Recent Reviews
Photos can lie. A hotel might look nice online but be dirty or noisy in real life.
Tip: Read 3–5 recent reviews on Google or travel apps. If many people complain about the same thing, it’s a red flag. If people say the rooms are clean and the staff is helpful, that’s a good sign.
3.Booking Without Checking the Location
Some budget hotels are far from the main city. This means you may spend more money and time on travel.
Tip: Use Google Maps to see where the hotel is. Try to stay close to:
- Markets
- Bus or taxi stands
- Tourist places like Ita Fort or Ganga Lake
It will make your trip easier and cheaper.
4.Not Thinking About Safety
If you’re a solo traveler — especially a woman — safety is very important.
Some cheap hotels may not have proper locks or security.
Tip: Before booking, ask the hotel:
- Do they have security or cameras?
- Is the reception open 24/7?
- Are the rooms in safe areas of the building?
Reading reviews from other solo travelers can also help you feel more confident.
5.Not Checking Check-in and Check-out Times
Many people travel early or late. But if the hotel doesn’t allow early check-in or late check-out, you might have to wait or pay more.
Tip: Ask the hotel about their check-in/check-out times. Some budget hotels, like Hotel Todo, offer flexible timings for travelers.
