4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Taipei

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Taipei is between July and September, when hotel prices may drop. For those on a budget looking to explore the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to discover key landmarks, such as temples and monuments, enjoy affordable dining options, visit museums, and experience the vibrant shopping scene. With great value for money, Taipei offers a delightful blend of cultural experiences and natural attractions, making it an ideal destination for families and solo travellers alike.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Taipei, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. It’s advisable to enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you’re more likely to see opportunities for savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring that you're promptly notified if prices drop or rooms become available, making it easier to secure your 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 in your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Taipei. For those in search of 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 if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we can suggest more affordable dates, which may help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive. However, with Taipei's outstanding public transport system, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further out that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore 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.
