The sprawl of Los Angeles is dotted with superb restaurants, happening bars and myriad other attractions, all of which are determined to get their hands on your hard-earned dollars. The good news is that one of the best ways to make your visit to one of the world’s most expensive cities easier on your wallet is by booking a stay at one of these excellent hotels, all of which are eminently affordable without sacrificing quality.

The trouble with most of LA’s budget-conscious hotels is that they’re located close to the city’s main airport, LAX, but these come with a catch as they tend to be a long way from the aforementioned attractions so you’ll end up spending significantly more time and money on transport.
