Aryaduta Hotels review

Only hotels. There is no flight, transfer or tour line, so a booking is a room booking and nothing is bolted onto the price at checkout. Compared with Emirates, which lists flights, hotels and tours, the range here is deliberately narrow.

Booking fees sit next to the same product on both the stay and hotel lists, and because the range is hotels there is a single type of charge to read before you pay. Sites that bundle more, such as booking sites with packages at 87.4%, spread fees across the trip.

Mobile booking is common in this category, with 79.1% of hotel brands offering an app, so you can expect to search and book on a phone. The hotel list holds 328 brands, and app availability is a useful tie breaker between them.

Email and phone are the most common channels in the hotel list, 86% and 84.3%, with live chat thinner at 34.8%. The stay list shows a similar mix, including a help centre at 65.2%.

Emirates lists flights, hotels and tours, so hotels sit next to flights, tours, car rental, transfers, parking and lounges in a single basket. Aryaduta lists hotels, which keeps the whole decision inside the room choice. Pick Emirates when the flights matter as much as the bed.

It suits a family trip where every night is booked in the same place, because the range is hotels and the price you see is the room rather than a bundle. The stay list pulls in 398 brands, so you can line Aryaduta up against others before paying anything.

Not here, because the range is hotels. Package led booking sites show packages at 87.4% against hotels at 79%, which is the shape to look at if you want the room and the travel arranged together. Aryaduta keeps you with the room alone.

Those live elsewhere. Čedok lists flights, packages and tours and Intrepid Travel lists packages, tours and cruise, so rail, cruise and ski sit alongside hotels with those brands. Aryaduta's hotels leaves you to arrange the rest of the trip on your own.
