How to save

3 ways to cut your London hotel bill

1. Use refundable rates. They're typically 5-15% more expensive upfront, but they let you rebook if prices fall. Over 60% of refundable bookings see a drop within 30 days — you keep the savings.

2. Compare across OTAs daily. The same room often has different prices on Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com and the hotel's own site. HotelMonitor checks all of them.

3. Watch the calendar. Shifting your stay by 1-2 days can save 20-40% in London. Sunday-Tuesday arrivals often beat weekend rates.
