4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Nanjing

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Nanjing is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a fulfilling experience, it is advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days to fully explore the city's remarkable landmarks and cultural heritage. During your visit, you can discover historical sites, serene temples, and beautiful forests, as well as enjoy the local hot springs. This timeframe provides great value for money, allowing you to appreciate the best of Nanjing's rich history and vibrant culture.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Nanjing, you may start by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you could find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don’t miss any opportunities. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. This way, you’re more likely to secure a great deal for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Nanjing hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and may sometimes 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.
