Agoda: your answer to booking hotel rooms online

Today we will be bringing to you not an online shop but an online portal through which you can book your hotel room! It's nearing the end of the year and we are certain many of you must be plagued by wanderlust by now. Who wouldn't enjoy a getaway from our hectic city life and explore the wonders of a foreign city? However, you should remember that a big part of how your trip turns out depends on the hotel you are living in.

Many people harbour the thought that they would be spending a major part of their day outside and it does not matter which hotel they live in during their trip. Wrong. A good hotel can make your trip so much better from the start with a swift check in and a good, clean and comfortable room to rest in each night when you return. Location is important too and if your hotel is near the metro or train station, you will save a lot on travelling expenses. Things would be even rosier if there is a convenience store nearby for you to grab any essentials like bottled water or some snacks when you are hungry.

Agoda is your answer to book the suitable hotel room quickly and conveniently. The website is easy to navigate and you can search for a specific hotel or browse through a range of hotels in a particular city. You can key in the dates you intend to travel to check the rates and availability of the hotel. The search results will list the different available rooms types with a short description of the room as well as the applicable rates. The rates are usually quite good and there is usually a significant discount extended as compared to booking through the hotel site itself.



Scroll down and you will see a list of the facilities available at the hotel you are browsing. We find this feature very useful as it is important to know whether there is air-conditioning, heating and of course, complimentary wifi.



The middle of the web page usually shows you a short description of the hotel and useful information like the check-in and check-out timing.



And of course, you would definitely want to read some reviews from others who have stayed in the hotel you are browsing before jumping in and making your choice. It is always good to make an informed choice. The reviews at the bottom save you the trouble having to toggle between Agoda and Tripadvisor so that you can read about everything that has been said about the hotel all in one page.



Another useful feature is that Agoda actually lists the hotels that you have browsed earlier so that any time you decide that the previous one you saw was better and you are ready to book, all you have to do is click on the link on the left. Saves you the trouble having to memorize all the hotels you have browsed and searching for it later!

Very useful website to book your hotel rooms! :) And now you know you have a good hotel to return to after a long day out exploring....
