Hotel pricing in China varies sharply by city — capital Beijing runs at a premium, while secondary cities and the regions deliver consistently lower nightly rates. Off-peak (outside April–May, September–October), entry-level rooms in China commonly drop to around $38/night. IMPT shows live, sortable pricing across all China properties at the same rates as the major OTAs.
Off-peak in China (outside the main April–May, September–October window) typically delivers 20–40% lower hotel rates with full inventory available. Capital city Beijing runs higher year-round than the rest of the country, and major events can push prices up sharply. Booking through IMPT keeps the same nightly rate as the major OTAs, with €5 free credit on signup and 5% back on every stay (3% to a carbon cause, 2% to your next-stay credit).
The local currency in China is CNY. IMPT shows hotel prices in the destination's currency by default, so you can compare like-for-like with local sites. You can switch to GBP, EUR or USD with one click. Most hotels in China accept Visa and Mastercard; some smaller properties in remote regions remain cash-only.
The peak months for travel in China are April–May, September–October. Hotel inventory is fullest and weather most reliable in this window. For cheap hotels specifically, shoulder-season weeks at either end of the peak window typically deliver the best balance of value and weather.
