is it same if you're a walk-in client compared if you book online?

i guess it depends from country to country.

Do make some checks thru the hotel website and online travel agents for prices. You don't want to be caught without a room when you reach your destination without a reservation.

I have given up hope on my usual travel agent as they charge me $50 more per room per night for something which I could book thru their website at $50 lesser. Service with a fee i guess.

My experience with hotels in China is that you can bargain or ask for special rates by walking in.
 

what about SG? my first & 2nd visit there was pre-arranged with my travel agency, but this time i had to look one for myself :(

i guess SG has more than enough hotel if u are not too choosy!!
as long as there's no big world event u should have any worries!!
 

i cant speak for singapore, but my own experience for malaysia is normally you get the same or similar price if u call up the hotel directly, than what you do by booking through those internet sites..
but ive never just turned up on the doorstep and asked how much..
 

i think for sg, if u book online its much much cheaper....

was checking rate for relatives last time, there are such thing as online price and walk in price.....
 

hi thobs

in Singapore, the walk-in rates are certainly more expensive than on-line rates. Either you go to the hotel's own websites and search for their promotional rates or you can use these 2 websites which I personally use when I want to book rooms locally or in the region:

www.http://www.holidaycity.com/singaporehotels/

http://www.asiatravel.com/singapore.html

Hope it helps and that you'll have a great time here. :D
 

Look for weekend specials. Most will be sapped up as soon as they are released.
 

thanks for the inputs guys :)


will wait on their reply, inquired to some of the hotels
 

I think usually u get cheaper rates online as they always have online promotions...

agreed!...for marriot, they guarantee that their online prices are the lowest, otherwise u get a refundn of the difference.
 

i think online cheaper ...not sure whether you want to play it such that walk in and ask...not happy then book online there and then :p ...but i think online usu cheaper anyway ...so safer to bk online first imho :)
