Hotels too expensive?

[lornemalvo]

This may have been mentioned before but has anyone else noticed how expensive hotel rooms now are? My first thought is that it may be due to so many hotels being turned over to house immigrants, less supply, higher prices.. No idea if the statistics support that though.

Depends what you’re looking at and when I guess.

I stayed in the native Manchester the other week. Quite a low fuss / low amenity place but very nicely done and a 1br loft (large bedroom with separate kitchen/living area) was £108 a night. I thought that was decent for a Friday booked the week before.

It was miles better than the saltmoore (Whitby) a few days later which was £250 and felt poor value, but then not many choices in that location.

Any statistics results would depend on sample size and area.
Would need correlation with high immigration zone impact.

The percentage of hotels used for housing asylum seekers will be minuscule

I think prices are just very dependent on location and date!

The massive increase in utility bills will be s huge factor also.

Just stayed in Saltmoore last week, I thought it was lovely but it is expensive

Its only 58k being housed in 250 hotels.

Dunno. You can still get good prices. For hotels that I liked to go to, I notice they've increased the prices by about 20%. Maybe this is to cover energy price rises?

Can't remember the last time I stayed in a hotel, Airbnb places are normally way better for the money.

Which has got nothing to do with the question posed.

If the 58,000 people get a room each, that's about 8% of the UKs total stock of hotel rooms. I would think that's enough to bump prices up a fair bit, even if not as big factor as utility bills for example

You'll be pleased to know the £cash is going to a couple of well connected company directors.

The combined cash at bank value for all businesses where RANDLE holds a current appointment equals £111m, a combined total current assets value of £286m with a total current liabilities of £181m and a total current net worth of £104m.

Yep, 8% is not without consequence

Tories filled 220 hotels. Current lot intend to reduce considerabbly. FYI, there are nearly 10,000 hotels in the uk so high prices nothing to do with immigrants. Though I guess there may be local disparities.

Covid made a huge difference to prices, as many more people decided to 'staycation'. My local hotel charges more than double the price it was asking in 2020.

Have to mention, Brexit also meant that most of the European hotel staff had to leave, and they have had to find a workforce from elsewhere in the world, which has increased their costs a lot (and no, there are not enough locals to fill the spaces). Brexit was (and I quote the manager of the hotel)... "A fking nightmare for us... and still is".

You think they get a room per person?

There's around 9,850 UK Hotels, 250 hotels is about 2.5%. of those

"Hotels are expensive. Must be migrants"

How very NP&E.

Because the question was why are Hotels expensive - is it because of them being used for migrants, not how much is it costing to house migrants.

I know many on here want to blame absolutely everything on Asylum Seekers but maybe do a bit of critical thinking eh?
