4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Nanjing

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Nanjing is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly experience, staying for at least 3 to 4 days allows you to delve into the city's significant landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. During your visit, you can explore ancient temples, enjoy the serene hot springs, wander through lush forests, and take a ferry ride to discover the charming ruins. This timeframe provides great value for money and ensures you can fully appreciate the rich heritage and vibrant culture of Nanjing.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover cheap hotels in Nanjing, you may explore the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you're more likely to see discounted rates on nearby accommodations as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications could keep you informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, helping you seize opportunities for savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool available through the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you stay updated on potential price drops or availability changes for your preferred hotels.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you potentially save on your stay at a hotel in Nanjing. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised atmosphere and, at times, better value for money. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether 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 may offer more affordable options, helping you to secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but with Nanjing's outstanding public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
