We uses this website - www8.hrs.com for almost all our hotel reservation in Switzerland and Austria. We did use www.booking.com once, and it was a good site for hotel reservation too.
What was great about this website is that it show us exactly what we want to know.
- Prices
- Distance to City, Rail, Motorway
- Facilities, such as parking, internet etc.... it even tells you the rate or if it is free.
- If breakfast is included in the price; if not, how much is the breakfast.
- Photos of hotel
- Direction of how to go to the hotel
- Earlier and latest check-in time (most cheaper hotel doesn't have 24 hrs check-in)
- Most hotel do not require you to pay first when you reserve, simply don't show up if you decide not to go.
- We can select 3 person, and know the price of a 3 person room.
We stayed in :-
- Arte Hotel (Zurich)
City not within walking distant, however got Macdonald, bowling, supermarket, and a bit of shopping nearby.
- Spatz Hotel (Lucerne)
- Blume Hotel (Interlaken)
- Alt-Pradl Hotel (Innsbruck)
- Hofwirt Hotel (Salzburg)
- Beta Hotel (Vienna)
All the hotel we stayed in comes with internet access, free parking and free breakfast; and they are most properly among the cheapest you can find.
