New York Offering Very Cheap Hotels this summer

Tourism predictably has been severely hit in many countries or specific cities due to this recession we are experiencing. New York is a prime example, known as a popular location for those looking to buy cheap Levis and other American goods during the day and enjoy a vibrant city at night; these difficult times have meant the uptake for hotels has been very low. It is a double whammy for the city of New York since the effects of Wall Street have also taken their toll. Not only are international visitor numbers down, domestic visitor numbers are too.

While it has been bad for business in New York it provides an opportunity for international visitors to enjoy a cheap hotel in New York. Prices are at a six year as New York hoteliers look to draw tourists back in.

A quick search reveals half price rooms at the Hudson Hotel. The Empire Hotel prices have been knocked down from £205 per night to £92! There are many more cheap hotels to be found.

The simplest and quickest method of finding the best hotel bargain is to use a hotel comparison site, there are many on the internet all sporting slightly different features. Some will allow you to plan your whole holiday so once you have found a cheap hotel room you can search for a flight to go with it. Prices for flights to New York are also lower now than in previous years so this could well be THE summer bargain. I ran a quick search for flights to New York from London; there is a return flight for £285! What a deal!

There are other locations around the world that are sadly suffering from the reduced tourist trade so using a comparison site will certainly help you sniff out those bargains. There are new announcements for cheap hotels, so keep checking. It looks like many of the hotel big groups will be discounting their hotel rooms to bring in the customers, so keep your eyes peeled.

It is predicted the exchange rate will continue to improve and may rise up to $1.80 to £1 so things many get even better for British tourists.

Cheapest single room in Seoul : Hostel Korea


Hostel Korea

My hunt for cheapest single room in Seoul is not over yet. My thought of taking the dormitory option might stop here if it could be this cheap.

Hostel Korea cheapest rate for single room per night : 22,000 won ~ MYR66 (with breakfast and WiFi in the room). Marvelous!! Privacy is the bottom line between dormitory and single room.

The downside: Location is a bit far from Center Seoul. They are around 5-10 minutes walk from Sinseoldong station. 3 station stop from Dongdaemun. 6 station stop from Myeongdong.

Good enough for me. I'm game.

What really attracts me is this:



50% discount on the first day rate IF you stay more than 2 nights.
If I decide to stay 3 nights, the rate per night for single room is 22,000 won and the discounted rate would be 11,000 won. My total would be 55,000 won ~ MYR165

*Hi everyone, by now (22nd August 2009) Hostel Korea has changed their landing page and I believe this coupon is no longer available and their cheapest single room now is 25,000 Won :(. Check out their web to get the latest rate or head over to my post for single room for less than 30,000 won.

Honeymoon at No.1 Samui Hotel

I did the honeymoon trip with my wife after 6 months of wedding ceremony. We went to Koh Samui, Thailand. This is the one dream destination for couples who want to have the romantic trip.
Come back to the main topic, Honeymoon at No.1 Samui Hotel. I mean the Centara Grand Beach Resort HuaHin. This hotel have cost start +10,000 baht/night, seems to be expensive but you will know that it is valueable to stay with the price after you try to visit at once.
I choose this hotel because I want to make my wife feel it is special than the normal trip that we just spend the money for the cheaper hotel. I want her feel that this is the real honeymoon trip.

We(I & my wife) stayed in the Garden-View room that is located on 1st floor. This is the lowest price from this hotel. If you want to have pool in-side the room, you have to pay upto 40,000 baht/night. I will not crazy to do that!! right!!. It's lucky that my room is close to the pool, that make us do 7 walk-steps and jump to the pool easily.

We spend time to swim with the fresh-cool water in a pool 2 hours on the 1st day, 1 hours on second day. There is a jagucy pool beside the swimming pool, we sit on it over an hour. It's very relax to heal our muscle. We stay until 7pm (swimming guard tell us that the pool is closed already)

Telling about the room I would like to show you how comfortable is it!! The room is very nice decorate with modern style. The think that make I unhappy is I don't get a king-size bed ( I got twin-bed) but it's not matter after I found that they provide the bed suit for us, very pretty orange suit & slipper is very nice for us.









This is just rough information to tell you about the honeymoon trip in this hotel. Are you jealous on me?
