HOTELS - WHERE AND HOW TO SEARCH AND BOOK?
IMPORTANT
- If you keep a hotel, which doesn't allow cancellation, you will not be able to give up, so you need to be sure before making your reservation.
- If you have too many requirements, don't forget to mention them when you make an online reservation.
Usually there is a form about adding of such information. - When we speak about the budget hotels, it is better to make a reservation directly in the hotel. Typically, such hotels are not included on reservation websites, anyway.
- And finally.There is no matter how you have made the reservation. Please send an email to the hotel one day before you arrive. This is an extra effort, but it's worth it. If you show, that you are interested in your reservation, your room, your staying in the hotel, then the hotel will respond on your expectation with the same.
HOTELS – WHERE AND HOW TO SEARCH AND BOOK?
Hotels are perfect place for relaxing. They have pools, restaurants, bars, and chambermaids, who clean your room every day, but the price they offer per night, can sometimes desist you from luxury and comfort.

Also, every self-respecting flight ticket's seeker has a page ,,HOTELS’’ and often ,,RENT A CAR.’’
- Examples for so-called "mixed searching machines" are http://www.kayak.com/
- Attention by searching for a cheap hotel: Availability or absence of a free airport shuttle bus, in case you are searching for a cheaper hotel next to the villages to the airport. By this way a cheap hotel accommodation can be lowered by the value of the taxi.
- Universal shuttle bus or shuttle bus for the hotel staff? For example, special buses are travelling between special hotel villages to the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. You can also take rides in them for an hour. So, it's better for me to choose a hotel, more expensive with 5-10 euros, but with an individual transfer, desirably free of charge. By this way you can save a lot of time.
- Free or paid car parking. Is there any parking at all? Typically, it has been announced. For example: ,,Parking for a common use 1 km from the hotel.” Be interested in this parking, if there is a discount for the visitors of this hotel.
