Varanasi promises an unforgettable journey into the soul of India.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Varanasi

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Varanasi is during May, June, and August, when hotel prices tend to be 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 timeframe allows visitors to discover key landmarks, such as ancient temples and monuments, as well as enjoy budget-friendly activities like rowing and boating on the river. Witnessing the stunning sunrise, engaging in yoga sessions, and exploring archaeological sites are all great value for money experiences that Varanasi has to offer.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Varanasi, you could begin by visiting the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on accommodations close to your travel dates. By enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com, you're more likely to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, utilise the Smart Shopping feature available in the app to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re updated on availability and potential price drops for your preferred hotels. This way, you can make the most of your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the season, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Varanasi. If you're in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer 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’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Varanasi’s outstanding public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further afield that remains well connected. For those eager 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.
