Hotel Reservation site

Travel is one of my favourite hobbies – though it can get rather expensive! But lately I realized that it might not be entirely so. There are numerous online travel website that allows one to book online, bypassing agents/middle man etc, and one get to choose from a whole array of travel services available. Indeed, I’m planning to go over to Melbourne come this end of the year, and I should start researching on where to go, cheap hotels to stay etc.

Hotelreservations.com is one of the many online travel websites that I’m looking at. It is a global travel website that provides a comprehensive destination guides to about 100 countries as well! Did a quick search on ‘Melbourne’ and out came a whole list of hotels and accommodations for vacation rentals as well! It’s good though that they have vacation rentals, as it is definitely more worth it to rent a whole place than to stay in hotel if one is intending to stay in a place long and with a large group! What’s more, these are internet rates, which mean you get the accommodation at a cheaper rate.

They also provide a maximum of $100 rebate for booking accommodations with them as well. However, I personally think that it will very troublesome to claim this $100 rebate. Because I would still need to fill out the rebate form and mail it over to the US! For a normal 3 to 5 days booking, there will only be a rebate of $20-30; definitely not worth the effort to fill up the forms and send it over.

Besides cheap hotels and vacation rentals, the Hotel Reservation website also offers flight bookings and car rental as well. Nonetheless, Hotelreservations.com would certainly be one of the websites I’ll be looking through when I’m deciding for my accommodations in Melbourne!
