4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Leicester

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most cost-effective months to visit Leicester are January, August, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a fulfilling experience that encompasses the city's rich history and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can explore various landmarks, including museums, theatres, and monuments, all of which offer great value for money. Leicester is known for its friendly atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those on a budget who appreciate art, sports, and shopping. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, you can enjoy an affordable getaway while immersing yourself in the local culture.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Leicester, consider checking the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. It’s wise to enable email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, so you’re more likely to catch savings opportunities. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re notified if rooms become available or if prices drop, making your spontaneous getaway easier to book.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Leicester hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could potentially be more affordable, helping you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Leicester's excellent public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel slightly further out that remains well linked. For those interested in exploring 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.
