The title says under €100 a night, but the real story is how far under. The most expensive hotel on this list costs €42. The cheapest costs €23. Every one of the 15 hotels has a guest score of 9.0 or higher, and most of them have well over a thousand reviews.
All prices are reference prices seen on Booking.com for a two-night stay from 10 to 12 November 2026, two adults, one room, shown per night. Prices move every day, so check today's price for your own dates before you book.

The pattern: Asia, and Vietnam in particular
Fourteen of the 15 hotels are in Asia. Six are in Vietnam alone: Ha Long Essence Hotel, Azura Gold Hotel & Apartment, Jade Scene Hotel, Sao Mai Boutique Hotel, Silk River Hoi An Retreat and Sala Quy Nhon Beach Hotel. Nepal has two, China two, and India, Cambodia, Indonesia and Taiwan one each. The only European entry is Hotel Lili-1 in Albania, at €41.
That does not mean Europe has no good hotels under €100. It means that once you sort by price, the cheapest 9-plus hotels are almost all in places where hotel prices in general are low. If you are travelling in Southeast Asia, the bar for a good hotel is simply set higher at every price.
Five worth a closer look
The best score: Silk River Hoi An Retreat
Silk River Hoi An Retreat scores 9.8 from 1,663 reviews, the highest on the list, and it is a four-star at €35 a night. Like many Hoi An hotels, it is listed outside the old town, in Cam Chau. See prices.
The most proven: The Urban, Siem Reap
The Urban has 4,568 reviews and a 9.6. That is the largest review base here, with a score that has held up across all of them. It costs €36. See prices.
The cheapest: Kathmandu Eco Hotel
Kathmandu Eco Hotel costs €23 in Thamel, with 1,007 reviews. Its score is 9.0, the lowest allowed on this list. You are paying very little, and guests are happy, but it is not in the same tier as the 9.6 to 9.8 hotels. See prices.
The big one in Taiwan: Legend Hotel Kaohsiung Pier2
Legend Hotel Kaohsiung Pier2 has 4,321 reviews and a 9.0 at €31. Same score as Kathmandu, but with four times the reviews behind it. See prices.
Europe's entry: Hotel Lili-1, Sarandë
Hotel Lili-1 scores 9.3 from 721 reviews at €41. It is the only hotel outside Asia that made the cut. See prices.
The trade-offs
- Fewer reviews on a few picks. The Iyang Ubud has 307 reviews, Qingdao Kaiyue Hotel Zhongshan Road 317 and Sala Quy Nhon Beach Hotel 419. Their scores are still high, but a few bad stays would move them more than they would move The Urban.
- A 9.0 and a 9.8 are not the same. Both pass the bar. If you can spend €10 more, the jump from 9.0 to 9.4 or higher is often available in the same region.
- Stars do not track value. Seven hotels here are four-stars and eight are three-stars. A three-star at 9.7, like Ha Long Essence Hotel, can be a better stay than a four-star at 9.1.
- Location labels are vague. Several hotels list "The Top-rated Area" rather than a district. Open the map before booking, especially in spread-out places like The Iyang Ubud or Hotel Middle Path & Spa.
- Long names, simple promises. The Taj Vista Agra puts "walking distance to Taj Mahal" in its listing name. We have not checked that claim. Measure it on the map.
What this means for your budget
The average price on this list is about €32 a night. That is a third of the €100 limit. In these cities you do not need to choose between a cheap room and a well-reviewed one. Start from the score you want, 9.4 or higher for example, and you will still pay less than €40 in Sao Mai Boutique Hotel, Hotel Middle Path & Spa or The Taj Vista Agra.
The flip side is that these prices are for mid-November. In peak season for each region, prices can be very different. Check your own dates.
