Title: Cheap Hotels (to confirm?)
Post by: Sylvain D on July 31, 2009, 11:48:54 am: Hi there, brothers.

I don't know if anyone of you has checked before on this weblink, but I found a very good price for a 5 stars hotel in Shanghai, for when I'll be there.

here's the link :
http://hotel-se.com

Please enjoy and leave any coment.
BTW, I looked with others weblinks related to bookings, and it seems that this weblink is quite better.

Hey Sylvain, I'm happy to see you're the same opinion. I discovered them on iGoogle. Have you tried their widget?

or if you want it in simplified chinese:
http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=fly3.net/gadgets/hotel-c-cs.xml

I have both, and I can tell you, this guys saved me a lot of money. I saw price differences of ~ 50% !!!

Where are you located?
Cheers!

Salut!

Post by: Sylvain D on July 31, 2009, 05:08:51 pm: Well, I've even compared with cheapoair and voyages-sncf, there's a big difference.
What is just a bit "funny", is that man has to search the best he can to find the nice price...

Don't pay more than 200 rmbs a night. If you wanted to really save money you could stay in a really nice youth hostel for about 100 rmbs. In Shenzhen hostels are 60 rmbs and really nice and safe, drawback is you might not have internet access.

Post by: Sylvain D on August 01, 2009, 04:36:21 am: it seems asiarooms is still more expensive than Hotel-SE :s

Post by: Benny 888 on August 01, 2009, 06:50:18 am: Just a hint, as remarked by Sylvain, Asiarooms is included in the results from Hotel-SE.com, as many other retailers. I checked out, hotel-se.com don't sell rooms, it's a search engine, just like google.
Not to be off topic, for those who need to see who has the cheapest air tickets, see this post here:

Post by: feisnik on August 07, 2009, 11:37:31 am: Yeah, definitely have your lady book the hotel. There are many great hotels for $30 USD or less if you let her or her friends do the booking. Another great source in Winser Zhao at China Travel 2.0 (http://www.chinatravel20.com/)
