My typical experience on airbnb is to find a pile of rooms that cost more than a hotel and have to shared with the person that owns the place and then when I try to book it, after checking the availability calendar, I get an email 3 days before I'm supposed to be there saying it's not actually available.
Novotel is a decent chain but not budget.
but of course you get what you pay for
