4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Chennai

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Chennai is in May, September, and October, when hotel prices are typically lower. For those looking to explore the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to appreciate key landmarks and attractions, such as temples, churches, and the notable cathedral, as well as indulge in shopping at local markets and enjoying the vibrant café scene. With its affordable options, Chennai offers great value for money for those eager to experience its cultural heritage and entertainment.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Chennai, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special last-minute promotions, helping you seize savings opportunities. With Smart Shopping, accessible via the app, you can compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you make informed choices. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to be the first to know and secure your last-minute escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay at a hotel in Chennai. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that could offer better affordability, helping you to potentially secure a more advantageous deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, due to Chennai's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
