Visited United Kingdom for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $84/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
