4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Hangzhou

  1. Book for the cheapest times: For an affordable visit to Hangzhou that won't break the bank, consider travelling in January, February, or December when hotel prices may drop to lower prices on a budget. A stay of at least 3 to 4 days offers great value for money, providing ample opportunity to explore key landmarks, historical sites and cultural attractions such as the lake, temples, sightseeing spots, natural parks, museums, monuments, mountain, and gardens.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: You may discover great hotel deals in Hangzhou by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com. If you're planning a spontaneous trip, check the Last-Minute Deals where discounted hotel rates may be available close to your travel date. Additionally, with the Smart Shopping tool on the app, you're more likely to see a comparison of hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can make an informed choice for your stay.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending 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 at a hotel in Hangzhou. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels might offer a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your selected dates is above or below the average, and if it appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Hangzhou's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those wishing 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.
