How to get best hotel rates in Malaysia, walk in or book in advance online?

MoeJoe asked:


I will be visiting Malaysia in April, im hoping to travel around the mainland and visit some of the East and west coast Islands. Just come back from tunisia where i paid dearly for not booking my hotels online. Just wanted to know what the best system is in Malaysia for getting the cheapest rates. Should i book in advance, or just walk in and negotiate, if i walk in is the marked price considerably higher than online price, which makes negotiating unworthwhile.
When you say travel agents, do u mean UK ones or ones in Malaysia, and if Malyasia can i book when i arrive.

    Whatever u do, try to avoid Radius-international hotel. I booked it over the net and received wuite bad service in the end from them. Besides being double charged, the staff showed lack of understanding about their relationship with their internet partner and i got charged more than what was stated on the internet site. Its really bullshit service that i got, even up til now i am still waitin for them to process the money their double charged me.

    better book-in..
    just that when you are booking make sure u get the name of the staff & the booking number..
    –
    & then call the travel agent & try to compare with the rates..

    depends on the hotel.. some hotel charge high for walk ins.. & some hotel charge high for bookings especially from overseas.. but most of all booking through travel agent will be less than normal..
