  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a hotel in Hangzhou. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we will suggest more economical dates to enhance your chances of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Hangzhou's superb public transport links, 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 lesser-known nearby towns, there's often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more genuine and budget-friendly experience.
