Tips For Saving on Hotels in Canada

Hotel costs can vary significantly based on where you stay in the country, but with some smart strategies you can save money when booking hotels.

Make the most of deals that include breakfast or other food-related perks - these can represent significant savings! Additionally, ask the hotel if any fees weren't transparently included in their original pricing structure - these could potentially reduce costs significantly.

Book Early

Booking early allows you to secure the best rates. Hotels know that failing to fill all their rooms could result in lost business from competitors; so they offer discounts as an incentive to draw in customers.

Planned trips to Canada can save money and stay organized, giving you more enjoyment out of your experience. By booking early with IHG Rewards Club membership you could even save up to 20% with our Book Early and Save discount and Your Rate option!

Stay in a Hotel

Staying in a hotel while travelling for multiple months can save money in terms of utilities and furnishing costs.

Hotels frequently run special promotions that allow guests to book rooms at reduced rates. These promos may last from several weeks up to just 10 days.

Save money when booking directly through a hotel's website, while experienced travelers have discovered they can score better deals by politely asking at the front desk to remove fees they believe should not be assessed; they have found this strategy more successful when traveling through smaller hotels.

Book a Budget Friendly Hotel

Accommodation can make up a considerable portion of a travel budget. Canada boasts an abundant range of affordable lodging, from city centre hotels to remote mountain cabins.

Before searching for hotels online, delete your cookies and use an incognito window. Prices can be affected by location as well as cookies that can add costs, so booking anonymously could help you secure better rates.

Hostels offer great savings when traveling in some cities, as they're clean, safe and cost-effective accommodations that are conveniently close to public transit and top attractions - many even offer complimentary breakfast!

Book a Cheap Hotel

One misconception about booking hotels last minute is that doing so will incur high rates; but rates actually decrease closer to check-in date - making riskier travellers eligible to reap great rewards!

HotelTonight's average same-day rate is roughly 10 percent lower than booking your room the day prior. Furthermore, using an incognito window or clearing cookies when searching may cause prices to appear different too.

Travelling outside the peak travel season is another surefire way to secure lower hotel prices and save money, including by avoiding holidays and events where hotel prices usually skyrocket.

Book a Cheap Bus Ticket

Buses can be an economical and eco-friendly means of travel, often costing significantly less than flying. Plus, off-peak travel times will save even more.

Plan your travel early as prices will increase as time nears the date of departure. To get the best value, it is advisable to buy tickets months in advance for best results.

Bus companies also frequently provide early bird discounts that can save travellers significant sums of money. Furthermore, many allow travellers to cancel tickets without incurring penalties - an invaluable service that provides travellers with greater peace of mind when travelling.

Book an Airbnb

Airbnb can help travelers cut costs when traveling by offering more space and amenities at the same price than hotel rooms. Furthermore, it offers unique stays like Cappadocia's cave houses, Central Asia yurts or Cuba's casas particulares that may otherwise not be available through hotels.

When booking an Airbnb rental, it's essential that the host is responsive. Airbnb hosts are expected to respond within 24 hours to all inquiries and reservations - otherwise their listing could be removed from the platform. Furthermore, before making your selection it's essential that you understand what will happen during check-in; some hosts offer meet up services while others may require self-checkin options.
