4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Nanjing

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Nanjing is during January, February, and August, when hotel prices are lower. For those looking to explore the city's prominent landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days would be ideal. During this time, visitors can enjoy Nanjing's rich history, including its temples, ruins, and serene forests, while also experiencing its trendy areas and luxurious offerings. This makes it a great value for money option for those travelling on a budget, as prices may drop during these months, providing an even more budget-friendly experience.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover enticing last-minute deals to Nanjing, start by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel options as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com, you could stay informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, ensuring you don’t miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. This way, you’re more likely to be alerted if prices drop or if rooms become available, making your last-minute getaway even more appealing.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more advantageous rate for your stay in a Nanjing hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that could help you find a more appealing rate.
