How about local hotel,like Carlton hotel? Anyone knows of a cheaper rate?

According to this website, it costs $208 before tax and service charges for a premier double room at Carlton. Quite reasonable IMO.

Note there are two Carltons, one is opposite Raffles City, another is in Chinatown. The Chinatown one is called Carlton City Hotel.

:thankyou:

Hi aloyboy,


I got problem when trying to book for hotel room in Tokyo.
For example, if I indicate 2 adults it's so much easier to get a room. However, when I indicate 2 adults + 1 kid, most hotel will show there are no rooms to accommodate 3 person ??

We did thought of not indicating our child upon booking but afraid that we will face problem upon checking in :slapshead: :nailbite:
For yr info, our child is 8 years old, definitely no way to hide him since he is so big size already

Just came back from Tokyo. It was a reward for my boy after almost a year of PSLE stress!

I initially booked a triple room at Grand Pacific Le Daiba through Agoda as we had previously stayed there before. Agoda has the best rate then. The rooms are considerably big. The single beds(120cm) are wider than most of the hotels in Japan. If you are sharing bed with your kid, please check the size of the single beds. Some are only 90cm wide.

I cancelled my booking a few days b4 departure and booked a triple room at Tokyo Dome Hotel through Booking.com as I wanted a more convenient location. Agoda charged me a USD15 cancellation fee. :sad:

Hi, I have this confirm hotel booking on 1st and 2nd of December 2014,

2 nights stay in Caesar Hotel in Taipei main station.
I’ve booked through Agoda, however due to personal reason that I have to let
go, have paid 2 nights for $380.30, I am letting go at $190.
Agoda allow name change at no charge but no cancellation.

Do email me if you are interested.

Thanks

I find http://www.wego.com a good search engine as it will compare prices offer from different website

Yes Wego is good, though I still use trivago most of the times. Probably a matter of personal preference.

Incidentally came across this free photo site, might come in handy for ppl when deciding which sg hotel to stay in: http://www.hotelsandphotos.com/

So far they have 7 listings, complete with videos of the rooms.

OMG! That's a very lovely site! Seems they have gotten much bigger and better. Thanx for sharing! :celebrate:

Has anyone one tried alternative hotels like those shown on airbnb? Looks really nice but not sure if can afford ha

Just to share again, there are plenty of common hotel bookings sites, and the rates are often better than hotel rates due to earlier bulk purchase and blocking of rooms by these companies.


One I often recommend and use would be a site which consolidates data from ALL of the common sites and churn out the rates comparisons.
