4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Chennai

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Chennai is in May, September, and October, when hotel prices tend to be lower. To fully experience the city's rich history and cultural landmarks, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, you can explore fascinating temples, vibrant cafes, and significant churches, as well as enjoy shopping and entertainment options. With careful planning, you can enjoy a culturally enriching trip that offers great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover great savings on hotels in Chennai, check out the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, by enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com, you'll stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. If prices drop or rooms become available, you could be among the first to book your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors like the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you potentially save on your stay in a Chennai hotel. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised touch and sometimes better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll recommend more affordable dates, making it more likely you’ll save on your booking.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but with Chennai's superb public transport options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even some 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.
