4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Brisbane

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Brisbane is during January, February, and April, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a fulfilling experience, it is recommended to stay for at least 2 to 3 days, which allows you to explore the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. This budget-friendly duration provides great value for money, enabling visitors to delve into Brisbane's vibrant shopping districts, enjoy its picturesque gardens, and savour delicious dining options, all while soaking in the local culture and friendly atmosphere. Additionally, prices for accommodation may drop during these months, making it an ideal time for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals in Brisbane, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you secure affordable accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're well-equipped to make informed decisions. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you'll be the first to know and ready to book your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on 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 Brisbane hotel. For those seeking unique 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 is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Brisbane's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further afield that remains well connected. If you're keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there’s often excellent value for money to be had. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
