4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Hangzhou

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Hangzhou is in January, February, and December, when hotel prices are lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is ideal for fully experiencing the city's key landmarks and cultural attractions. During your visit, you can explore scenic areas such as West Lake, majestic temples, beautiful gardens, and fascinating museums. This itinerary will provide great value for money while allowing you to appreciate the rich history and stunning sights of Hangzhou.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Hangzhou, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions that could help you save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you'll be among the first to know for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Hangzhou. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the cost tends to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could offer better value, helping you potentially secure a more favourable deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Hangzhou's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
