Not sure whether to book a house or a hotel on your stag do?
Well, this might help you decide.
Whilst houses have their upsides, they also have many issues (big deposits, bed-sharing and weird cleaning rules to name a few).
Whereas the trusty hotel sidesteps the hassle and comes armed with a range of benefits you and the guys will love.
Scroll on for all the benefits of staying in a hotel on a stag do.
10 Upsides to a Hotel on a Stag Do
- Prime Location
- Single Beds
- Less Drama if People Drop Out
- Restaurant & Bar
- Use of Hotel Facilities
- Better Cancellation Terms
- No Big Behavioural Bonds
- More Flexible with Budgets
- Housekeeping
- Accessibility
1. Prime Location
Most hotels are situated centrally, which means:
- They're a convenient meeting point at the start of the stag
- They're a great launchpad for your big night out
- You can head home at whatever hour you please without having to cough up on taxis

2. Single Beds
Don't fancy sharing a bed with the groom's weird cousin?
We don't blame you.
Unlike many houses, hotels have a range of bed options meaning you can secure yourself a single and sidestep any bed-sharing awkwardness.
3. Less Drama if People Drop Out
Stag houses need exact numbers to book and if someone decides to drop out later on, suddenly everyone's prices shoot up to cover the cost.
Not hotels, though.
On no, the beauty of a hotel is that people can drop out until six weeks before and it won't affect your price.
That means, you can get your weekend booked in even if you don't have exact group numbers just yet.
4. Restaurant & Bar
Do you really want to wake up and rustle up a full English for the whole group?
And that's before we've even discussed the washing up!
Hotel breakfast buffets are the unsung heroes of hangover recovery, with in-room tea and coffee on tap to help soothe even the sorest of heads.
You'll also have the beloved on-site bar where you can start the pre-drinks whilst you wait for the groom to finish putting on too much aftershave!
5. Use of Hotel Facilities
Many hotels offer some incredible facilities that would usually be charged as an add-on if you're booking a self-catering property.
So, why settle for less when you can have pools, gyms, spas, games rooms, roof terraces, and even somewhere secure to park your car?
6. Better Cancellation Terms
Plans change – we get it and hotels get it, too!
They usually have a more forgiving cancellation policy just because there's a high chance the spaces will fill up quickly anyway.
(If you really want to avoid any worries, we're ABTA-bonded meaning your money is safe with us).
7. No Massive Behavioural Bonds
On top of the big deposits, many stag houses demand a damage deposit up-front in case you misplace a plate!
Hotels are used to dealing with stag parties and won't confiscate your wallet because you haven't thrown the beer bottle in the glass bin.
8. More Flexible With Budgets
With hotels, you can find something for every wallet size and maybe even bag a deal for bigger groups.
Also, at StagWeb, we only need one small deposit to secure your stay instead of a large payment up-front.
9. Housekeeping
Don't make a bed in your stag house? You'll be crawling back into that unmade bed after a big night out.
Don't make a bed in a hotel? Someone else will do it for you.
Hello, good night's sleep!
10. Accessibility
Stag houses aren't always set up to cater for everyone.
Hotels are held to different standards and will have lifts and rooms designed for those with different accessibility needs.
