10/10 Excellent
"This is our second stay at Hotel Haya. You really can't go wrong choosing Hotel Haya -- it's close to everything to do in Ybor, the staff are super friendly and helpful and the rooms are quiet. The pool was relaxing. We love the fitness center -- great equipment and clean! The bar has some really good N/A options -- we tried the "new" fashioned and were really impressed with the quality and flavor of the drink. More of these please!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Tampa

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Tampa is between September and November, when hotel rates tend to be lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal for discovering the city's notable landmarks and cultural attractions. During your visit, you can explore various historical sites, enjoy live music events, catch a football or hockey game, and immerse yourself in local festivals. Additionally, Tampa's beautiful gardens and the university campus, along with its zoo, provide excellent entertainment options, making your trip great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers travellers the chance to save when booking to Tampa. Begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section, where you may discover attractive offers. For last-minute bookings, the Last-Minute Deals area could be useful, presenting options near your travel date. Moreover, by enabling email alerts or push notifications, you're more likely to see flash sales or special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature is a handy comparison tool within the app, helping you compare hotel prices and amenities to ensure you make an informed decision.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so remaining flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in a Tampa hotel. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels may offer a more personalised stay and, at times, 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. Should the price appear to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could help you secure a more attractive deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Tampa's excellent public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further afield that is still well connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Selecting these alternative destinations could offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
