Staying in a five-star hotel seems like a traveler’s dream. But given the cost, it may as well be a fantasy for many of us.
However, if you choose wisely, you can get the five-star experience without the bank-busting price tag. In fact, the Top Dollar website has found 10 top-tier hotels around the world that charge less than $40 per night.
Top Dollar says these hotels all meet the “five-star” criteria, which includes perks such as:
- Hotel staff that personally greet you
- Luxurious accommodations

The cheapest entry on the list is the Novotel Ahmedabad Hotel in Ahmedabad, India. This luxury hotel charges just $28 a night. It’s located close to the airport and industrial hubs and offers Japanese and Korean cuisine, as well as an open-air pool.
Following close behind is the Royal Surakarta Heritage Solo MGallery Collection in Surakarta, Indonesia.
