Pros and cons

Pros

  • A mobile app is available, so a group can search rooms and handle a booking away from a desktop.
  • Cancellation is Free until property-specific deadline, which gives a family booked well ahead room to change its plans.
  • Support runs on email and phone, so a written question and a spoken one are both open before a trip.
  • The site belongs to Dusit Thani Public Company Limited, a named company rather than an anonymous reseller, trading since 1948.
  • Booking is contained in a single product, hotels, so the list on screen stays short enough for a group to agree on.

Cons

  • Taxes and service charges extra (rates ++), so the first rate a group sees is not the amount it pays.
  • The catalogue is limited to hotels, while Emirates lists flights, hotels and tours, so a whole trip cannot be assembled here.
  • Cancellation is Free until property-specific deadline, which puts the deadline with each property rather than with the group.
  • Support runs on email and phone only, so a question that lands mid-trip waits for an email or a call.

Scored 9.1 / 10 by NomadCue.

Who it suits

  • Groups that have chosen the hotel and want the room booked direct, since cancellation is Free until property-specific deadline
  • Travellers who want both a written and a spoken contact route, since support runs on email and phone
  • Anyone who accepts a single product line, hotels, in exchange for a named operator, Dusit Thani Public Company Limited

Who should look elsewhere

  • Emirates, for a group that wants flights, hotels and transfers in one basket, since it books flights, hotels and tours
  • Čedok, for travellers who want packages, tours, cruise and ski rather than hotels alone
  • Intrepid Travel, for guided group trips built on packages, tours and cruise rather than a hotel room

What you can book

Everything here sits under one product: hotels. A group booking through this site has chosen the room first, so the search stays short and the list of hotels can be read end to end rather than skimmed. The booking flow covers that product and nothing beside it, and that concentration is the point. A mobile app is available, so rooms can be searched, compared and confirmed on a phone, which suits a family that splits the research and compares dates against rates. The trade-off is plain: a trip that needs a flight, a transfer or an excursion has to be assembled somewhere else, and this site covers the stay itself. A group booking only the room and arranging the journey around it will find nothing missing here.

Fees and cancellation

Two lines on the offer decide the final bill. The first is Taxes and service charges extra (rates ++): the rate shown is a base rate, and taxes and service charges are added on top, so a group weighing two hotels should compare totals rather than headline nightly figures. The second is Free until property-specific deadline. A booking can be dropped at no cost up to a deadline that each property sets for itself, which is real help for a family that books early and travels later. The catch is that the deadline moves property by property, so it has to be read at the point of booking rather than assumed. Neither point is unusual in this part of the market, but both belong beside the rate in any honest comparison.

The company behind it

The site belongs to Dusit Thani Public Company Limited, headquartered in Thailand, and the company dates back to 1948. A long trading history carries weight for a prepaid hotel booking, since the money leaves early and any claim arrives much later, so it matters that the counterparty is still there to answer it. Support runs on email and phone, which gives a group two ways in: a written trail for a disputed charge and a spoken option for a question that will not wait. Because the name on the confirmation is the counterparty, a group that prefers to deal with the operator of the hotel it is staying in, rather than a broker between, sees a familiar setup.

How Dusit Hotels & Resorts + ASAI Hotels compares

Frequently asked questions

What can I book on this site?+

The catalogue covers hotels and nothing beside it. There is no flight, transfer or car hire option in the same basket, so a group arriving from another country books those legs elsewhere and uses this site for the stay only.

Is anything charged on top of the nightly rate?+

The extra charged on top of the rate is Taxes and service charges extra (rates ++). That is not a booking charge, but it does mean the headline nightly rate is not the amount paid: taxes and service charges are added after the price first shown, so compare final amounts across hotels.

Can I cancel a booking without cost?+

Cancellation is Free until property-specific deadline, so a booking can be dropped at no cost up to a deadline that each property sets for itself. A family with a loose travel date should read the deadline for that specific hotel before confirming, not afterwards.

Is there an app for booking?+

A mobile app is available, so a family can search, compare and confirm the same rooms on a phone. It suits groups that split the research, with part of the group checking dates while the rest work through the rate line and the cancellation deadline.

How do I reach the company if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email and phone. A written email trail helps when a charge or a cancellation deadline is in dispute, and phone contact covers a question that cannot wait for a reply. Both routes sit with the same company that takes the booking.

Who actually runs the site?+

The site belongs to Dusit Thani Public Company Limited, headquartered in Thailand, and the company has traded since 1948. For a prepaid stay it is worth checking that name against the confirmation, because the party holding the booking is the one that has to be there when something goes wrong.

Who is this site suited to?+

It suits a group that has already picked the hotel and wants the room booked direct. Cancellation is Free until property-specific deadline and support runs on email and phone, so a named operator stands behind the stay. Anyone assembling a whole trip with flights and transfers attached gets more from a site with a wider catalogue.

How does the choice compare with wider booking sites?+

Range is the difference. Emirates books flights, hotels and tours, Čedok books flights, packages and tours and Intrepid Travel books packages, tours and cruise, so a traveller who wants a flight, a package or a tour in the same basket has more choice elsewhere. This site keeps the choice to hotels.
