"The towels in the room were stained and there were makeup marks on the soap dispenser. Also marks on the chair and floor. I don’t think that room was cleaned well."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Waltham cost?
Budget hotel prices in Waltham vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Waltham is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Waltham, the areas surrounding the town centre and along the A121 offer the most economical accommodation options. These locations provide good access to local amenities and public transport connections.

The town centre itself, while bustling, features several smaller hotels and guesthouses that are often more affordably priced than those further out. Staying here means you're within easy walking distance of shops, eateries, and Waltham Cross railway station, which has direct links into London. For a solo traveller, this central location offers convenience and reduces the need for additional transport costs.

Alternatively, the stretch along the A121, particularly closer to the M25 junction, is home to a few larger, value-oriented hotel chains. While these might be a bit further from the immediate town centre, they often include parking and provide a comfortable, no-frills base.
When is the most affordable time to visit Waltham?
The most affordable time to visit Waltham is generally during the off-peak seasons, primarily from late autumn through early spring, excluding the Christmas and New Year period. During these months, demand for accommodation and flights typically decreases, leading to lower prices.

For solo travellers, visiting between November and March offers the best chance of securing cheaper hotel rates and potentially more affordable train tickets into London. While the weather might be cooler, there are still plenty of indoor attractions, and the town retains its charm without the summer crowds.

Families might find January and February particularly budget-friendly, especially if they are flexible with school holidays. Many attractions, including the Waltham Abbey Gardens and the Epping Forest, are free to explore year-round, and the quieter atmosphere can make for a more relaxed visit.

What free activities should we do in Waltham?
Waltham offers a surprising number of free activities great for budget-conscious travellers, allowing you to immerse yourselves in its charm without spending a penny.

For couples, a delightful free activity is a stroll through the tranquil Waltham Abbey Gardens, particularly around the historic Waltham Abbey Church. You can wander along the River Lea, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and even spot some local wildlife. Another romantic option is exploring the scenic paths of Lee Valley Regional Park, which offers extensive walking and cycling routes through beautiful countryside, great for a leisurely afternoon together.

Solo travellers will find plenty to occupy their time as well. The Waltham Abbey Gardens provide a serene escape for quiet contemplation, and you can spend hours simply observing the ancient architecture of the Abbey Church. Additionally, the town's market square often hosts local markets and events, providing a vibrant setting to soak in without any cost.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Waltham as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Waltham for you.
