4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Shanghai

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Shanghai is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. An ideal stay of at least 3 to 4 days allows you to explore the city's significant landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. This timeframe provides great value for money, enabling you to enjoy museums, temples, and monuments, as well as indulge in sightseeing and budget-friendly dining options. With the possibility that prices may drop during these months, it's a fantastic opportunity for those travelling on a budget to experience the rich history and vibrant culture of Shanghai.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover affordable options for your stay in Shanghai, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and limited-time offers, helping you uncover the best prices on Shanghai hotels. The Smart Shopping feature on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're first to know if rooms become available or if prices drop, which could enhance your chances of booking a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Shanghai hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and occasionally 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 end, we’ll suggest more affordable dates, increasing the likelihood that you'll secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Shanghai'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 cities, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
