Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Kingston cost?
Budget hotel prices in Kingston vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are 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.
Which area of Kingston is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious travellers looking for affordable accommodation in Kingston, Victoria, areas slightly outside the immediate city centre, such as those towards Mentone or Cheltenham, often present the best value. These neighbouring suburbs provide good transport links into Kingston proper while offering more competitively priced hotels, motels, and guesthouses.

Solo travellers might find the stretch along Beach Road towards Mentone particularly appealing. Here, you can often find motels that offer comfortable, no-frills stays within walking distance of the beach, providing a pleasant environment without a hefty price tag. Public transport, primarily bus routes, connects these areas efficiently to Kingston's main attractions and shopping precincts.

For couples, looking a little further inland towards Cheltenham can yield excellent results. This area has a good selection of mid-range hotels and serviced apartments that are often cheaper than those closer to the coastline. Cheltenham also offers convenient access to train stations, making day trips and exploring the wider Melbourne area more accessible and cost-effective.
When is the most affordable time to visit Kingston?
The most affordable time to visit Kingston, Victoria, is generally during the shoulder seasons—late autumn (May-June) and early spring (September-October)—outside of school holidays and major local events. During these periods, you'll often find better deals on accommodation and flights, as the peak summer crowds have dispersed, and the weather is still pleasant enough for exploring.

For solo travellers, visiting in these quieter months means more competitive pricing on hostels and guesthouses, and a more relaxed atmosphere at popular attractions. You might also find cheaper rates on car rentals, which can be a significant saving for exploring the wider region.

Families looking for value should particularly avoid the Australian summer school holidays (December-January) and Easter, when prices for everything from holiday rentals to activities tend to skyrocket. Instead, consider early May or late September. The weather is usually mild, great for enjoying Kingston's coastal walks and parks without the intense summer heat or the need for expensive indoor activities.
Is Kingston a budget-friendly destination?
While Kingston, Victoria, is generally considered more expensive than some other Australian regions, travellers can absolutely explore its charms on a budget with some smart planning.

For solo travellers, staying in the outer suburbs or opting for holiday parks with cabin options can reduce accommodation costs compared to beachfront hotels. Look for places in areas slightly away from the immediate coastline for better value.

Couples can enjoy many of Kingston's natural attractions for free. Exploring the beautiful beaches like Mordialloc Beach or Mentone Beach costs nothing, and there are numerous parks and reserves superb for picnics. Pack your own food from a local supermarket to save on dining out, or seek out local fish and chip shops for an affordable meal by the sea. Utilising the public transport network, including trains and buses, is a cost-effective way to get around the area.

What free activities should we do in Kingston?
Kingston, Victoria, offers a wonderful array of free activities, superb for budget-conscious solo travellers looking to explore without spending a fortune.

You can start by immersing yourself in nature at the Braeside Park, a sprawling urban oasis with walking trails, wetlands, and abundant birdlife, ideal for a peaceful stroll or a bit of nature photography. For those who enjoy seaside charm, the Kingston Coastal Trail offers picturesque walks along the foreshore, providing stunning bay views and opportunities to spot local marine life.

Another excellent free option is visiting the many local markets. While you might be tempted to buy, simply browsing the stalls, soaking in the atmosphere, and enjoying the local produce and crafts can be a delightful experience in itself. Many markets also feature free live music or street performers, adding to the entertainment. For a touch of local history and culture, exploring the public art installations scattered throughout Kingston's various suburbs, such as those found in Mentone or Mordialloc, offers an engaging and cost-free way to discover the area's creative side.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Kingston as a 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 travel 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 Kingston for you.
