How can I get cheap hotels in Guildford?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Guildford

  1. If you're looking to travel to Guildford on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $88. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $165. Staying a short amount of time in Guildford is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Guildford, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Guildford, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Guildford, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Which area of Guildford is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking affordable hotel options in Guildford, areas slightly outside the immediate town centre, particularly towards the east or west of the main High Street, often provide better value. These locations offer a good balance of lower prices and convenient access to the town's attractions and transport links.

Solo travellers exploring Guildford on a budget might find accommodations closer to the University of Surrey or along the A3 corridor to be more economical. These areas often feature guesthouses and smaller hotels that cater to a range of budgets, and they are typically well-served by local bus routes that connect directly to the town centre and Guildford train station. Exploring the cobbled High Street and Guildford Castle is easily done from these spots.

Families looking for value might consider hotels or guesthouses in the quieter residential areas surrounding the town centre, such as those found on the outskirts of neighbourhoods like Onslow Village or close to Stoke Park. While not directly in the bustling heart of Guildford, these spots offer a more relaxed atmosphere and often have slightly larger rooms or family suites at a more great price.
