4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Nairobi

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Nairobi is during January, October, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly trip, staying for at least 4 to 5 days is recommended to fully explore the city's significant landmarks, cultural sites, and natural attractions. This duration allows visitors to appreciate the rich history and culture of Nairobi, including its museums and vibrant local cafes, while also enjoying the nearby natural parks and wildlife experiences. Overall, planning your visit during these months can provide great value for money, making it a perfect choice for those on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Nairobi, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may uncover discounted rates on hotels approaching your travel date. Enabling email alerts or push notifications could keep you informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute offers, helping you secure affordable accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see the best options. If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be notified promptly, enhancing your chances of a budget-friendly getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on 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 at a hotel in Nairobi. For those in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and potentially offer 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.
