4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Dubai

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly period to explore Dubai is from July to September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a great value for money experience, it is recommended to stay for at least 4 to 5 days, which allows ample time to discover the city's remarkable landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. Visitors can enjoy excursions along the river, explore vibrant shopping areas, marvel at the iconic skyscrapers, and experience the enchanting desert landscape. This timeframe not only offers a chance to delve into the rich culture of Dubai but also provides an opportunity to take part in boating adventures and relax in charming cafes.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover great hotel deals in Dubai, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you're more likely to see discounted rates on accommodations as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute promotions. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you may discover the best hotel deal for your stay. With these features, you'll be promptly notified if prices drop or rooms become available, making your last-minute getaway even more accessible.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending 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 Dubai hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll recommend alternative dates that could be more affordable, enhancing 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 Dubai's outstanding public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
