How can I get cheap hotels in Whitstable?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Whitstable

  1. If you're looking to travel to Whitstable on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $127. 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 $157. Staying a short amount of time in Whitstable 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 Whitstable, 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 Whitstable, 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 Whitstable, 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.

How much does a budget hotel in Whitstable cost?

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.
Which area of Whitstable is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
Finding genuinely cheap hotels in Whitstable can be a challenge, as it's a popular coastal town, but areas slightly outside the immediate bustling town centre often offer better value. Look towards the eastern edges of town, particularly around Tankerton, for more affordable guesthouses and bed & breakfasts.

Tankerton, while a short walk or bus ride from Whitstable's main attractions, provides a quieter atmosphere and often more competitive pricing for solo travellers. It's known for its charming rows of pastel-colored beach huts and a pleasant promenade, offering a relaxing base. You'll find a selection of independent cafes and eateries that are generally more budget-friendly than those directly on Harbour Street.

Alternatively, consider properties just a little inland from the main High Street. These residential areas might have self-catering apartments or smaller, family-run guesthouses that offer good value, especially if you're willing to walk 10-15 minutes to reach the beachfront and harbor.

During these periods, the crowds thin out, and prices for accommodation and some activities tend to be lower than in the peak summer months.

You'll find better deals on guesthouses and bed and breakfasts, and the town retains its charm without the summer bustle.
