4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Auckland

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Auckland is between May and July, when hotel prices are generally lower. For an enriching experience, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to discover the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. During your visit, you can explore the bustling port, indulge in shopping, and visit museums that showcase the rich heritage of the area. Enjoy dining at budget-friendly cafes, take guided tours, and marvel at the impressive monuments and volcanoes that define Auckland's landscape. This period offers great value for money, making it an ideal choice for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Auckland, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. You could also enable email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of snagging great rates. Additionally, the Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window feature on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can make informed decisions. With these tools, you're more likely to find the best hotel deal for your spontaneous getaway.
  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 an Auckland hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you secure the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, with Auckland's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well-connected. For those keen 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.
