How to save on hotel booking for days, not periods

If you are going to stay in a short period of time, first check the cost of one night. You may find that book a room one day will be cheaper than once for the entire period. How it works - see below.

In this post we will talk about a non-obvious features of reservations, which helps to save on accommodation at the hotel.

Some hotels charge up a little for the first night if you book it for the whole period at once, so that you can overpay.

How it works

Let's say you go to Seattle and are going to stay at the hotel. Take site Hyatt.com - the network of higher class hotels throughout the United States. To begin, look for a room for one adult for three days - from 6 to 9 May.

One of the first hotels in the issue - Hyatt at Olive 8, accommodation which will cost us 314 dollars a day.

Ok, now let's try to find out how much it would cost for two nights at the hotel from 7 to 9 May. Again, 314 dollars a night, everything seems to be logical.

Now, let's see how many will have to pay for one night - from 6 to 7 May. And the price is changed - now it's $ 304.

It would seem that if you are looking for a room for three nights, you should show the average price for one night. That is, we had to show a price of $ 310 (two nights at 314 dollars and one night for $ 304).

But no, we show the highest price. Thus, if you book one day, save $ 10.

But it is a foreign site, but is there any such price changes on our online booking service? It turns out there is.

For example, looking at the famous Moscow hotels online Booking.com for the same period - from 6 to 9 May. One of the three star hotel, "Volga Apart Hotel" offers three nights with a discount of 21% for 14 267 rubles. It turns out, the room rate per night is 4755 rubles.

Okay, now let's try to find a room for one night, from 8 to 9 May. We get the same room at the same hotel already for 4360 rubles. Excellent, cost 400 rubles, a little less than Hyatt.com.

As you can see, if you book hotels on days and not on the period, you can save about 400-500 rubles per day. So next time before booking be sure to check how much is one night at the selected hotel.
