4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Adelaide

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Adelaide is from June to August, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the city’s key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This timeframe allows visitors to enjoy a variety of experiences, such as shopping, dining, and attending local festivals, all of which offer great value for money. Travellers on a budget will appreciate the range of budget-friendly options available, making Adelaide an attractive destination for a memorable getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals for accommodation in Adelaide, start by exploring the Deals and Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute offers, helping you to seize any potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to find the ideal stay. You'll be promptly notified if room availability changes or prices drop, making it easier to plan a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you potentially save on your stay at an Adelaide hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price leans towards the higher end, we will recommend more affordable dates to increase the likelihood of finding a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Adelaide's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well linked. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value to be had. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
