For $1.50 each, we also both get a towel and a toiletry kit and head off to our room. Passports are handed back and forth, small talk is swapped and instead of a boarding pass, we are handed a room key. It is a small price to pay, we say, for the sweet spot of quality accommodation and great location that our Tune hotel provides. For rates as low as $8, we exchange our freedom from advertising in our sleep. Where most hotels have a cheesy watercolor painting, Tune has advertisements both in the room and above each room number down the hall. This strong relationship is displayed in our room through the advertisement for Air Asia flights on the wall in our room. In fact, Tune hotels sits within the Tune Group, an entertainment and leisure brand started by the owners of Air Asia.

Being on the road every day of the year means we stay in countless hotels, and at over 500 days as nomads, we have stayed some of the best (and worst) accommodation the world has to offer.
