For those nights you want to treat yourself to a little luxury I found Hotels.com worked well, usually cheaper than just turning up at the same hotel and after 10 nights you get a free one. I found their customer services helpful with a dodgy booking and even used a hotel's internet to get a room there cheaper than their listed price.

Hey, explore the homestay, couch surfing, airbnb type websites. You not only get cheap or free accommodation in interesting places but meet the people too. It adds to the experience rather than just travelling through and they'll have recommendations for your onward route. Those moments when they get the family over to meet you, the kids practise their English on you and they crack out the home-brew are priceless. They may also allow chance to do your laundry or work on your bike using their facilities. Don't be put off by language difficulties, smile a lot & use sign language or a translation app if necessary.
