Accorhotels is a portal dedicated to lodging and hotel services for business and vacationing, and offers over 4.000 different hotels around the world, with discounts exceeding in some cases 60% of the final sales cost in the case of some of its brands, both those that target budget-conscious travellers as well as those seeking luxurious accommodations (Ibis, Suitehotel, Dorint, Mercure, Novotel, Sofitel).

Regarding hotel and lodging services, we here at Andinia believe that it is important to do some shopping and research prices before committing yourself to any reservation. We have information that indicates that even in regions where prices should be more or less even and stable across cities, significant variations not related to quality arise.

For example, in Dublin, Ireland you will be asked more or less the same for lodging across the whole city. However, some neighbourhoods are much nicer and better than others, and a tourist would expect to find differences according to that. If you are paying the same to stay in a good, clean and nice place as you would pay to sleep in a virtual shanty town, what would you choose? The problem is to find that out before travelling, because if you do so once you are there, you may feel like taken advantage of.

And there are other differences that are also hard to justify. Dublin may be an interesting city, but in our view, cannot be compared with Lyon, in France. A tourist in the French city will find a lot more things to do, and the city offers much more in general; yet, Dublin if significantly more expensive. So if you travel to Europe, you should inform yourself a little before going to one place or another, because for the same or even less amount of money you may eventually get much more in return, or less.

Websites such as the one we are presenting now allow you just to do that with a lot of time to spare; these differences in price and service level will always exist and are not really related to quality but currency over valuation and the desire of tourism-related companies that may be trying to take advantage of foreign tourists.
