How to choose a hotel when traveling?

You must book a hotel when you travel. Now Bian Xiao will tell you how to choose a hotel. In fact, it is not only Australia that books hotels like this. In fact, you can also book such a hotel when you travel to other countries for recycling. Now go and have a look.

1. What should I consider when choosing a hotel within the budget?

When traveling, everyone will have a travel budget, especially for such big things as housing. In the travel budget, the first two considerations in choosing accommodation should be: the quality of accommodation and the location of the hotel.

1) Accommodation quality

Hotels, depending on the star rating, range from two to five stars, and the prices are different. Australia's three-star standard room price is about 150 Australian dollars/night. If you want to live comfortably and cleanly and have a generous budget, you can choose a three-star hotel. You can choose a 4-star hotel for your honeymoon. There are many types of accommodation in Australia: in addition to traditional hotels, there are also hotel apartments, family hotels, motels and so on to choose from. If you are backpacking, you can choose youth travel.

Housing choice: it is best to match expensive hotels with cheap hotels, which can be controlled within the budget after balance. In other words, traveling and staying in a place is actually a very important experience.

2) Convenient location

When choosing a hotel, besides the price, the priority must be the location of the hotel. A hotel with convenient location can not only save a sum of transportation expenses (the transportation expenses in Australia are not small), but also save a lot of time. For students who are short of time, it is generally recommended to choose a residence in the city center or within half an hour's drive from the city center. The best place for public transportation, close to the train and bus station.

2. The type of accommodation in Australia and how to choose it.

Australian hotel facilities:

1) Overall, the facilities are complete and clean; 2) All bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers; 3) Shampoo, shower gel and towels are available.

However, note: there are no disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste and slippers. You can ask the hotel for slippers. Some hotels offer it, and there may be a charge.

How to choose?

1) Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and other big cities, you can choose hotels or serviced apartments with complete service facilities; Hotel-style apartments, kitchens and bathing facilities are all available, which is very suitable for families and many people to travel together.

2) To go to road trip, some small and medium-sized towns (such as Dayang Road and Talu Road) can choose to stay in family hotels or motels. Family hotels are generally very distinctive. The host will provide breakfast and afternoon tea, but there are not many rooms, so it is better to book in advance. Motels have enough parking spaces and kitchens for cooking.

3) If backpackers or students are poor, the beds of YHA Youth Travel Service are of course the cheapest. But if it is a couple or a family outing, it is inconvenient for several people to live in more than one room. In addition, the double room and single room of CYTS are not recommended, and the price is not cheap. We have caught up with the hotel, so we might as well find an affordable hotel.

Tan You Experience:

Pay attention to the cash room rate: "When you settle in cash, you should still remember to ask for vouchers to protect your legitimate rights and interests." See the post below for details.

The Port Aucar Motel in Port Campbell is twice as expensive.

"The overall experience of staying in Australia is very good. Australians are very nice. Here's a reminder: first, the reception time at the front desk of motels and apartments is usually from 8 am to 5 pm. Sometimes it is convenient and trustworthy for guests to leave early and return late and do it themselves! So those who want to find temporary accommodation must hurry! Second, all the houses in Australia don't provide slippers and dental appliances! Other toiletries are also available. Please be prepared in advance. February 20 15 (10 stayed 19 night), and came back freely. The above is for your reference. "

"The hotel is based on the hotel price, evaluation and site selection. We stayed in four hotels in four cities. The real experience is as follows:

(1) General situation

Check in late and check out early: The check-out time of most hotels in Australia is usually at 10- 1 1, but the check-in time is after 14:00. However, hotels generally have luggage storage, so you can easily go out before and after check-out. It's really not as convenient as a domestic hotel. )

Pay-as-you-go: Except for Keynes's pre-authorized check-in once and check-out after check-out, all other three hotels require to pay for the room when checking in; In addition to paying off, the Gold Coast has to pay the pre-authorization 100 yuan.

About credit card pre-authorization: not all hotels will brush pre-authorization. As far as our four hotels are concerned, the hotel in Sydney directly deducts the first day's room rate from the credit card booked seven days ago as the deposit; Melbourne hotel check-in payment does not require a deposit; Two hotels in Cairns and Gold Coast need pre-authorization. Cairns Plaza Hotel only received the pre-authorization of 1 A, while the one on the Gold Coast received the pre-authorization of1A. And when they check out, they won't take the initiative to cancel. It will be a month before the bank will automatically cancel (it is recommended to remind them to cancel the pre-authorization when checking out).

Basic toiletries: I thought Australian hotels didn't provide them. So several hotels have shower gel shampoo.

Book a taxi for free: Most hotels will ask you if you need to book a taxi, and they will book it for you for free.

Average price 125 Australian dollars: we stayed at 1 1 night, and the average hotel consumption was 1374 Australian dollars, with an average of 125 Australian dollars per night. "

About cancellation of reservation:

"Last time I booked a hotel that I couldn't unsubscribe from, I wrote an email and then unsubscribed for free. Dwarf men and women. The hotel expressed its understanding and then confirmed the cancellation with the booking staff. "

"Last week, I consulted and booked. The advance payment like mine was paid in the form of consumption, which is equivalent to the expenses that have already occurred. The bank also said that it needs to be paid back in next month's bill.

Finally, if the order is cancelled before the free cancellation date, the advance payment will be fully refunded, and the reservation will also require the merchant to refund the V/M handling fee generated by the consumption.

If you finally check in, you only need to pay the remaining unpaid room rate. It is not recommended to pay back the money paid by credit card first, and then pay in full by cash or other cards. "

Today, I telephoned the customer service of CCB Credit Card Center and said that I would arrange to take the visa channel. On the scheduled day, the visa center will transfer US dollars according to the exchange rate of the day, and CCB's dual-currency credit card is actually paid in US dollars. During the credit card repayment, I will call the center to purchase foreign exchange for repayment, and the exchange rate will be settled according to the date of the call. In addition, I also called booking's Chinese customer service, and the reply was very timely. There is no long queue, and Chinese is good. I am basically relieved. The customer service said that if you pay by credit card, an extra handling fee of 1.5% will be charged by the bank. '
