4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Cape Town

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Cape Town is from June to August, when hotel prices are lower. For a budget-friendly getaway, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city’s key landmarks and cultural heritage. During this time, you can enjoy sightseeing at historical sites, explore museums, hike up mountains, and even indulge in some swimming or seafood dining by the sea. This period offers great value for money, allowing you to experience Cape Town’s rich history and vibrant culture without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals for Cape Town accommodation, begin by visiting the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. To stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, increasing your chances of finding the best options. If rooms become available or prices drop, you could be among the first to know, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can 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 Cape Town hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised touch and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we will suggest more economical dates, which could help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier; however, with Cape Town's superb public transport connections, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
