Millennium Hotels review

The group sells hotels and nothing more, which makes it a stay booker rather than a full service travel site. Anything else on the trip, such as the flight, the transfer or the excursion, has to be arranged on a different site. That is the main thing to weigh before you start.

Millennium Hotels trades under Millennium & Copthorne Hotels, the company behind the name. The group is headquartered in Singapore and has been trading since 1995, so it is an established operator rather than a new entrant selling rooms through a third party marketplace.

The brand takes 8.8 overall, with 9.3 on trust and 8.5 on offer. That split says the group is judged more solid than it is broad, which fits a business whose book of work runs to hotels alone.

The practical answer depends on the trip. Emirates lists flights, hotels and tours, so a traveller who wants a flight, a transfer and a room on the same account has more to work with there. Millennium Hotels covers hotels, which suits a group that has already sorted the journey and only needs the stay.

Bookings run to hotels, so there are no packages, tours or rail tickets to add to a stay here. Travellers who want a room bundled with a guided trip tend to look at Intrepid Travel, which lists packages, tours and cruise.

Millennium Hotels is not the place for those lines. Čedok covers flights, packages and tours, which puts ski and cruise alongside flights and packages, and Emirates adds flights, hotels and tours. If the stay is only part of a wider trip, a specialist may serve the rest better.

Groups that have already fixed the destination and want rooms from an operator trading since 1995. It suits a family trip where the flights and transfers are booked elsewhere, since products here run to hotels and the group is not a full service travel site.
