III. Vacation rentals vs hotels (In INR)
Travellers with families (2 adults and 2 kids) looking at ‘two rooms’ also have an option to choose a vacation rental over staying in a hotel since in some cases it turns out to be a wiser option. For e.g. in Melbourne, a two room overnight stay in a 3 star hotel (for March 19 match) will approx. be 20% more expensive than a night spent in a two room vacation rental.This is considering the price per hotel room is INR 14,912 and vacation rental is INR 12,452.
