How can I get cheap hotels in Philadelphia?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Philadelphia

  1. If you're looking to travel to Philadelphia on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $67. 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 $121. Staying a short amount of time in Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia, 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Philadelphia cost?
Budget hotel prices in Philadelphia vary, but you can find a great deal from $67 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—off-peak and mid-week stays are typically cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Is Philadelphia a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Philadelphia is a budget-friendly destination, especially when compared to its Northeastern neighbours, offering a wealth of history, culture, and culinary delights without breaking the bank.

For solo travellers and couples, accommodations can be found at reasonable prices, particularly if you book in advance or consider staying slightly outside the immediate Rittenhouse Square or Old City areas. Neighbourhoods like Fishtown or South Philly offer unique local charm and good value, with easy access to central attractions via the SEPTA public transit system, which includes buses, subways, and trolleys.

Many of Philadelphia's most iconic attractions are free to explore. Couples can wander through Independence National Historical Park, see the Liberty Bell, and visit Independence Hall without charge. Art lovers can enjoy the Rodin Museum's outdoor sculpture garden for free, and solo travellers can stroll through Reading Terminal Market, soaking in the vibrant setting even if they only window shop. Dining can also be very affordable; seek out the city's famous food trucks, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) restaurants, and classic deli sandwiches for delicious and inexpensive meals.
What free activities should we do in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia offers a wealth of free activities, allowing budget-conscious travellers to experience its rich history and vibrant culture without spending a dime. The city is a treasure trove of historical sites and green spaces, superb for exploring on foot.

Solo travellers and couples can start their exploration in the historic district, where iconic landmarks like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall stand as testaments to American history. While timed tickets are required for Independence Hall during peak season, viewing the Liberty Bell is always free. Wander through the charming streets of Old City, soak in the atmosphere, and imagine the events that unfolded here.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Fairmount Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world, offers endless opportunities for free recreation. You can hike or bike along scenic trails, enjoy a picnic by the Schuylkill River, or simply relax amidst nature. The Azalea Garden, located behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a particularly pleasant spot for a stroll, especially in spring.

Art lovers will appreciate the Rodin Museum, which offers free admission to its beautiful outdoor sculpture garden, featuring many of Auguste Rodin's masterpieces, including "The Thinker." Additionally, many of Philadelphia's diverse neighbourhoods are adorned with murals, making a self-guided mural tour a captivating and free way to discover the city's artistic side.
Is it cheaper to book a Philadelphia hotel and flight package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect vacation package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Philadelphia for you.
