4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Nanjing

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Nanjing is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower. To fully appreciate the city's key landmarks and cultural heritage, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to explore significant historical sites, such as ancient temples and ruins, as well as enjoy the serene surroundings of hot springs and forests. Plus, with the possibility of prices dropping during these months, it's a great value for money for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To find accommodation deals in Nanjing, visit the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates as your travel date approaches. To maximise your savings, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for flash sales and last-minute promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you're more likely to see these opportunities first, ensuring you can secure the best deals for your stay.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in a Nanjing hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and potentially 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 end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to get the best deal possible.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Nanjing's fantastic public transport system, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further out that’s still well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there’s often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
