Aggregator websites

Often, the cheapest room rates can be found on aggregator websites, such as Hotelscombined and Trivago. Such aggregator websites verify hotel prices at hundreds of other sites (like Booking.com, Hotels.com, Hotelopia.com, Onhotels.com, Otel.com, Expedia) and show where you can find the cheapest rate. It’s as simple as that.

Member-only websites

The member-only websites, such as Jetsetter, Secret Escapes and the Vacationist (which are not to be found via aggregator websites) feature temporary, heavily discounted luxury hotel deals at some of the world’s best hotels. The membership is free and easy and all you need to do is to submit your name and email address.

You can also sign up for their newsletters, so you can stay updated about their temporary offers.

Just make sure to always compare these prices with the prices and deals found on the actual hotel websites and do not forget to click the “special offers” section that is present on most hotel websites.

In case you find a lower, publicly available rate on another website compared to the official hotel website, you can always submit an online “Best Rate Guarantee” claim. If your claim is approved, it will lower and match your price, providing an additional 10% - 25% discount (depending of the hotel chain).

Standard booking websites

Try the basic browsing first, like going through the Hotels.com website, except when staying at one of the big hotel chains, like Starwood, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott or Hilton.

This website is pretty generous in matching the best prices, giving you the additional chance to collect credits for free hotel stays.

On top of that, they always have discount coupons on various offers.

Since you won’t collect any points for a hotel loyalty program when booking your stay via Hotels.com, you should always book a stay at one of the big hotel chains directly via their official websites.

And when it comes to coupons, you can always search for widely available discount coupons on the internet. Try to google the hotel booking website or hotel name, plus the option for a coupon.

Loyalty program

You can simply sign-up for the newsletters of your preferred hotel or the hotel booking website. Very frequently, they email coupons or notifications to their subscribers when they’re having a sale.

Additionally, by using the loyalty programs, you might even stay for free at a luxury hotel by using hotels points and credits that you collected, even though very few high-end luxury hotel chains offer such option. Either way, it is worth the shot.

Go directly to the hotel’s website

Many of the world’s most exclusive hotel chains publish the best rates only on their official hotel websites. Such an example is the Aman Resorts chain – being widely recognized too – a case where you should not waste your time looking for a lower price on any aggregator or a member-only website, as you won’t find one.

They only display deals, packages that include extra perks like spa credits, breakfast or complimentary nights directly on the hotel website. Similar applies for famous hotel chains such as Four Seasons, Rosewood and Six Senses hotels to name a few, all providing top deals and luxury perks when visiting their website directly.

This is absolutely the most old-fashioned way of making a booking, but in many cases it is worth the shot, since it can save your budget, while not taking away the comfort.

From credit cards to extra perks

Very often, the holders of an American Express Premium or a Visa Signature credit card benefit from various extra perks when they place a reservation through their credit card travel office and/or use their credit card to pay. Basically, all you need to do is to contact your local credit card company and find out whether they offer such travel service. The elite members of the hotel loyalty programs might get few benefits during their stay as well, ranging from late check-out and complimentary Wi Fi, up to suite upgrades and breakfast service.

Frequent flyer programs

There are many airlines that offer frequent flyer programs, where the elite members are entitled to special benefits, like early check in, late check out, room upgrade or complimentary breakfast, with their partners often being some of the top exclusive world-famous hotel chains. Hence, if you happen to be a frequent traveler, browse around for some perks and benefits which some of the airline companies can provide for their frequent flyer program members, and do not hesitate to enjoy them too.

If you happen to be traveling with a romance in mind for example, having luxury hotel amenities at disposal, such as 24-hour room service, designer bed linens or a concierge to book your dinner, concert or theater reservations, can only enhance the experience. Even if your budget is tight, you can enjoy Budapest’s luxurious side by using these simple tricks. With your accommodation being settled, you can now focus on finding the best jazz clubs in Budapest, and use the remaining budget to rent yourself a limousine and enjoy the holiday.
