Rugby World Cup: Cheap Hotels
Budget Hotels in France, Edinburgh and Cardiff for 2007 World Cup
If planning to go to the 2007 Rugby World Cup, there are cheap budget hotel rooms, even in Paris where the final will be held. There are plenty of deluxe options too
When I was researching the Official Travel Guide to the 2007 Rugby World Cup, I saw a lot of hotels. I saw cheap hotels, mid-price hotels and deluxe hotels too. Although mostly I got to stay in the cheap ones!
The 2007 Rugby World Cup is being held in France, though for some reason the organisers have decided that Cardiff and Edinburgh will stage some matches too. I'm sure the Welsh and Scottish fans aren't complaining, although the England fans might as they'll have to keep on the move to follow their team. England's games are played in Lens in northeast France, then they move to St-Denis near Paris, on to Nantes and then back to Paris for their final qualifying match against Tonga.
In contrast, Wales play two matches in Cardiff and two matches in Nantes. Scotland play their first match in St-Etienne, then come back to Edinburgh for two more, then go back to St-Etienne for their final qualifier against Italy. Ireland play twice in Bordeaux and then move on to St-Denis and Paris. Host nation France play two matches in St-Denis, one in Toulouse and one in Marseille.
You'll find full details of all the matches, all the stadiums, recommended hotels and restaurants, and all the tourist attractions too in the Official Travel Guide, which runs to over 300 packed pages. It's a huge book, and you can find further details (including glowing press reviews, hem-hem) by clicking here.
However, I've also given some basic information on personal hotel recommendations in some of the cities elsewhere, so you can get a flavour for the book. Click on the links below for hotel information on the cities listed:
