4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Oaxaca

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Oaxaca is an ideal destination for travellers seeking an affordable, budget-friendly experience on a budget, especially during June, August, and September. During these months, hotel prices may drop, making it a great value for money. For those interested in exploring the city's rich heritage, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. In that time, visitors can immerse themselves in historical landmarks and cultural attractions, such as the cathedral, churches, museums, art galleries, and historical tours, each offering a glimpse into the vibrant local history and traditions.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers travellers a chance to potentially save on trips to Oaxaca. By exploring the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, you may discover discounted hotel rates near your travel date. Enabling email alerts or push notifications could ensure you’re informed of flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool, a handy comparison tool available via the app, allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you’re more likely to spot a favourable offer if availability increases or prices drop.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in an Oaxaca hotel. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels offer a more personalised service and sometimes better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it is on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Oaxaca's excellent public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further out 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. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
