  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals in Ho Chi Minh City, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates close to your travel dates. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, which could help you save significantly. Furthermore, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you make informed decisions. With these resources, you're more likely to find budget-friendly options before your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value.
