4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Como

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Como on a budget is a fantastic idea, particularly during January, March, and December when hotel prices may drop, offering affordable accommodation. For a satisfying exploration of its key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions — including the lake, boating, ferry rides, charming cafes, mountainous views, monuments, walking tours, and dining experiences — it is recommended to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. This period provides great value for money while allowing visitors to fully appreciate the rich heritage and scenic beauty of Como.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Como, visit the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to keep informed about flash sales and special last-minute promotions, ensuring you stay updated on potential savings. Additionally, utilise the Smart Shopping tool available via the app to compare hotel prices and amenities, making it easier to find the best options. You'll be alerted promptly if rooms become available or prices drop, helping you secure that spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find more attractive rates for your stay in Como. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that might allow you to find a more favourable rate.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive. However, thanks to Como's excellent public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel a little further out that remains well connected.
