Ehotel is a website based hotel reservation service based in Berlin, Germany. They specialize in offering low prices on hotels in major European tourist and popular travel areas. The company has hotel listings in most major cities of the world as well. Some of their most popular destinations include:
In the United States, for example, the company could not find any hotels for my suburban area near San Francisco. However, it had over 300 hotels listed for San Francisco. Cities like Los Angeles and Anaheim had numerous hotels listed at good rates. The prices for rooms were listed in Euros, but many had the US equivalent in dollars listed, too. Since a visitor pays at the hotel, payment will be in the local currency. Ehotel users often receive extra privileges at the hotels they book, such as free parking and free internet. Hotels that the company offers its clients have been specifically approved and listed by the Ehotel. Clients can choose from five levels of hotels at each location. Youth hostels generally receive one star.
Each client of Ehotels receives these special benefits:
www.hotels.com - Hotels.com is owned by Expedia and features hotel listings from 60 countries and is based in Dallas, Texas. Over 140,000 hotels have listed with Hotels.com. The specialty of this site if finding hotels available at the last minute in areas that are difficult to obtain reservations. The site also has weekly specials in popular tourist areas and can organize special group rates at any of its hotels. Reservations under the last minute specials are paid for at the lodgings check-in area. There is also a loyalty club for frequent users of the site. Site lists all hotels that offer AARP discounts.

The company has offices in over 50 countries that is services Hotels are book with a best price guarentee. Last minute reservations are sent as Hotel Flashes to loyalty club members. The site books over 30 million rooms per month.
Pricing was reviewed for hotel rooms in several countries. Hotel rooms listed were more expensive than other competitors, but I expect if reservations were made from Europe with this service, the rooms costs in some countries would be cheaper. Ehotels also services a number of countries that other competitors do not. Hotels.com does not service China, for example. Booking.com does not service a number of areas in Asia as well. Since Ehotel does guarentee its prices to be the lowest, if you can find a lower price, you can still book through them at the same cost. There is also an advantage to booking through a local company if you have a problem in a foriegn country. There is someone there who can hopefully resolve your difficulties.

It was not easy to find comments on the Ehotel.com website. This was hindered by the inbred correction by just about every search engine to take Ehotel and change it to Hotel. Anyway, after some diligent effort, I found the commens listed below. It would appear that Ehotels has very few complaints, since these are usually found all over the internet for a problem company. The comments below show a company that users are quite happy with. Since this is a German company, I put a German comment in since most comments were in German.
Well done Teresa. Sometimes I also find the consumer reviews hard to find online.
Interesting review. Thank you dear Teresa. Hope we can promote mutual friendship and support.
