There are so many hotel search engines, travel agencies as well as the hotel booking websites. When you come to book a hotel, it always will cost you a while to find the best deal. If you search the big hotel booking websites, have you ever felt headache with tons of information? So is there any easier way to find a cheap hotel in Hong Kong efficiently?
Here I will give out four steps how I always look for hotel bargains when I am travelling. Although I titled this article “How To Find A Cheap Hotel in Hong Kong”, it actually works for every other cities in the world.
Four steps on how to find a cheap hotel in Hong Kong?
1. Hotel Price Comparison
Search all the hotels by one click
As a famous hotel booking website, Agoda.com is one of my favorite hotel search engines, because it is easy to locate and compare many different hotels and get to know the best deals.
If you are looking for hotels in Hong Kong, it compares the prices of 930 hotels, apartments, hostels, guesthouses in Hong Kong, which is a very time-saving way to get a general idea how much the hotel prices are.
Remember in the search result lists, the default setting of ranking is based on “Recommended” order. You also can manually change it to “Hotel Stars”, “Guest Rating” or “Price” if it’s more suitable for you.
You can try the search box above to find your best choice.
2. klook.com Hotel Offers
klook.com – Get spacial offers for local hotels
klook.com is local ticket booking platform including attractions, hotels, restaurants, transportation and car rental. They are offering special deals and staycation promotions of local hotels.
Although it doesn’t include as many hotels as Agoda, the prices from klook sometimes are lower than the famous hotel booking platforms. It also allows you to book/cancel for free.
Besides hotel bookings, klook also provides other offers from hotels, such as coupon in restaurants, hotel set dinner, buffet, etc..
Sometimes you maybe wonder why the price of one hotel is not the lowest of the search results. It is usually due to the different room types (standard, deluxe etc.).
3. Budget Options Besides Hotels
hostelworld.com – The budget travellers’ options !
If you are backpacker, if you are planning a budget travel, then you may consider to stay in a hostel.
Hong Kong is one of the safest cities in the world, so staying in hostel usually has no problem, even when you travel alone.
From hostelworld.com you can find not only a budget hostel, but also beds, apartments even campsites.
It combines over 35,000 properties in about 170 countries. They also provide about a hundred of search results in Hong Kong and the prices can be as low as HK$ 100 – 200 per room/bed.
It’s a great option for those on a budget.
4. Hotel Reviews
Tripadvisor.com – Check out what other customers say
Ok, after price comparison and availability check, you can either complete your booking or go on to be more confident about your choice.
You can use “Tripadvisor.com” to check out other people’s opinions and reassure your choices.
Normally I would pay more attention to negative reviews cuz good ones can be manipulated. Of course, people all have different expectations that you shouldn’t 100% believe on the comments. Besides, there are always malicious comments from business opponents.
