Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore hotel deals in Hangzhou, visit the “Deals” or “Last-Minute Deals” sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, helping you secure the best hotel deal. The “Smart Shopping” tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see if prices drop or if new rooms become available, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to save on your getaway.
  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.
