Has anyone any experience with this online hotel booking service? There seems to be so many around.

Thanks,

Thanks for that.

There are so many booking sites offering vary similar rates I wasn't sure which one to use.

I've only used it for searching info and usually book directly with hotel, rates look good but the following can happen

for my 2007 trip 3 star hotel
Sawadee price 1500 per night
Hotel direct price with long stay discount 1100 per night
Hotel direct website price 1300 per night

So not always the cheapest option

I also found/use hellophukethotels

they have an information site for research of hotels

I use Sawadee online reservation system on this website, they are among the cheaper ones and works fine.

I have used sawadee 3 times, always through Phuket-info.

As for long stay discounts, you can always ask the hotel about them as you are making the reservations on Sawadee. Got a discount at Jintana on sawadee that way.

Check out the hotel website, look at sawadee, and see which is best, then ask both about long stay discounts if applicable.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Sounds like a reliable service.
