The-Hotels for Hotel Reservations

We felt that The-Hotels was a decent hotel reservation service, although kind of drab and not offering even a quarter of the features and advice that other websites of their kind provide.

We really appreciated how extensive their hotel listings were, but once again, were disappointed in the dead links in their main search box. This was a huge turn-off right off the bat. We also noticed that their rates were a little higher than some of their competitors’ prices, but made up for it with their no-cancellation fees.

  • More than 35,000 properties in 8,000 locations
  • Top 10 Destinations

6Star Reviews wasn't thrilled with what we found on The-Hotels and definitely think they offer bare minimum in features. In fact, we struggled to find any available features, period. Ok, so we always like to keep the glass half full, so we will note that this hotel reservation service found most of the hotels we were interested in reserving.

Lowest prices? Not by a longshot. But, the site was easy to navigate and even a novice user could get through this one. Customer support could improve by adding a FAQs database or travel tips, but their email support and telephone line were pretty helpful. They receive 4.0 Stars!
