Hotelclub.com – is a respectable booking site that also offers assistance organizing cars, flights and travel insurance. Like Priceline and other popular hotel booking sites, Hotelclub focuses on finding discount rates at hotels around the world. They have a helpful display of the lowest prices available according to the city. The folks at Hotelclub also reach out to their customers with consumer hotel reviews and a travel blog.

The blog is very informative, though it at times reads like a Wikitravel page. It’s not personalized and focuses more on specific travel destinations than on the hotels near those destinations. For more personalized information, Hotelclub has a Facebook page where customers and “Fans” can post reviews and share advice amongst themselves.

Hotelclub has to be one of my favorite hotel-booking sites. It’s chic design, user-friendliness  and undergoing efforts to provide a personalized platform for travelers distinguish it from even the most commercially successful hotel-booking websites.
