£20 each for a dorm room????? Are they having a laugh.
What would you consider a fair dorm room + breakfast price for central Salford?

I thought tonights place was brilliant! Would I stay there - no, it simply isn't my thing. But for their market it is fabulous. How on earth could anyone underpay?

I would love to stay there just for the experience - I think it would be great.

£10 each for a 6 person room cause you could probably get a Travelodge or similar chain for £49. Actually I've just checked and the Ibis Hotel on Salford Quays is only £29 a night for a room.

Can you sleep 3 in that room? And what about breakfast?

You can usually sleep up to 4 in those rooms and yes breakfast is usually included.

Interesting. But on 4iab the owners have to charge their peak rate for the show, so it maybe you can get a bunk there for less at some times of the year. For comparison the YHA in Manchester is charging only £13 per night for a bunk room bed for some nights this month, but some nights are £35. Breakfast is extra at the YHA. (Usually £5).

There is no way I would pay £35 for a hostel.

Depends where you're wanting to stay, I once stayed at a hostel in Central London for about £30 - £35 a night which is a complete bargain when you think a hotel room can cost in the region of £100 and upwards a night!

If you are sharing with one or two people I would prefer to pay a little extra and get a more comfortable private room with my own bathroom. You can get an Ibis or other chain in London for about £79.

His nails are flithy.
I noticed that too; I really don't like the nail close ups when they go through the feedback. If they're not dirty and bitten, it's often a chipped manicure or some gaudy gel nails.

But that's £79 for the room for up to 4 people not £79 each. Works out cheaper than £35 each for a shared room in a hostel.

I've just checked out Ibis, Salford and although the rooms are advertised as 'from £26' the only rooms currently available are £86 for 2 people + £5.50 each for breakfast.
The cheap rooms sell out very quickly weeks in advance

Loads of tv people are desperate for accommodation in Salford. This one should do very well at £55 a night + fantastic breakfast and great ambience.

That's the problem with dynamic pricing. The lead in rate is rarely still available, and when you actually look, the cost is masses higher than the "from" rate advertised.

I'm sure you could still get a room in a chain for less than £50 a night. I know which I'd prefer rather than sharing a bedroom and bathroom with 4 strangers. Just checked and the Comfort Inn is available for £40 tonight.

Well, yes. And I expect I would rather that as well (though I often use bunkrooms in YHAs). But we aren't the target market - I'm sure they do very well by those who like the experience as a whole.
