4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Blackpool

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most economical time to visit Blackpool is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices are lower. For a budget-friendly trip, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the area's historical landmarks and cultural attractions. While there, you can explore the renowned Blackpool Tower, enjoy the vibrant theatre scene, and relax on the picturesque beach. With plenty of entertainment options and a welcoming atmosphere, Blackpool offers great value for money for those seeking a memorable getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Blackpool, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications will keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of finding cheap hotels. Furthermore, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best deals. This way, you’ll be promptly notified of any price drops or room availabilities for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ 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 at a hotel in Blackpool. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and sometimes 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. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to find the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Blackpool's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-connected.
