How to find the best hotel deal in London
If booking flights with us feels quick and easy, wait until you try our hotel search. Find top London hotels at incredible prices with these helpful hints.
Save on your London hotel and get first pick of what's on offer by booking early. You'll also have more time to compare and choose the perfect place.
However, you can still get lucky with last-minute deals. Although prices tend to increase closer to your stay, some places cut rates a day or two before to avoid rooms sitting empty, especially in low season.
Another secret trick to finding cheaper hotels? Stay flexible. If your plans aren't locked in, check rates across different dates and discover just how much you can save.
Avoid the risk of extra fees by searching for stays that offer free cancellation. If your schedule changes or you spot a better offer, you can cancel your booking without penalty.
