Along with last minute routes, last minute hotels are big business nowadays. The concept is that you take a room that would otherwise be empty (usually because of cancellations), and in return a steep discount is got by you. But, as ever, its an instance of buyer beware.
It can be a quite typical experience to arrive in a hotel and find that theres really no-one in it who didnt come on a last-minute travel package. This is both because the prices the hotel is attempting to charge typical customers are too high, or because its a terrible hotel. You should probably stay away, to avoid these places, check whether the hotel a last-minute deal is found by you on is usually fully-booked or at the very least busy if not.
Even in great hotels, though, you may find your self stuck with the one bad area that they havent been in a position to transfer the one that smells funny, or includes a view of a brick wall beyond your window. While this isnt usually so horrible, you need to at the least prepare yourself for this possibility.
Its also quite likely though perhaps not certain that the cheaper hotels will be nowhere near the city center, leaving you to travel by public transportation daily if you wish to see the places, or else hold off in the suburbs. You must look into the costs of transportation before you book, as a slightly more expensive hotel that is more central can often save yourself you more than it costs.
Your final thing to keep yourself informed of is that one may usually get a good discount by arranging a last second flight and hotel as a bundle through the various agency web sites. If you're achieving this, though, be sure that you dont allow the savings pressure you into having a bad journey or even a bad hotel simply because one other half the offer seems so good.
