5. Diving into Price Analysis
Finally, let’s delve into arguably one of the most critical categories in hotel reviews – pricing.
To pinpoint where you can get your money’s worth, I’ll be comparing rates from renowned hotel comparison platforms like ‘HotelsCombined,’ ‘SkyScanner,’ and ‘Trivago.’
Our criteria for this low-price hunt? A one-night stay from Wednesday to Thursday for two guests in a single room—breakfast excluded (as it often significantly bumps up costs).
5.1. Price Comparison via ‘HotelsCombined’
![Paradise Hotel Busan: lowest price on HotelsCombined](https://i0.wp.com/hotelinkorea.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-653-1024x554.png?resize=800%2C433&ssl=1)
After searching through ‘HotelsCombined’, the best deal I found was $207 when booking through ‘Agoda’.
5.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’
![Paradise Hotel Busan: lowest price on sky scanner](https://i0.wp.com/hotelinkorea.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-654-1024x619.png?resize=800%2C484&ssl=1)
The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $164 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Trip.com’.
5.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’
![Paradise Hotel Busan: lowest price on Trivago](https://i0.wp.com/hotelinkorea.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-655-1024x484.png?resize=800%2C378&ssl=1)
The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $185 when booked through ‘Super.com’.
5.4. Official Website of ‘Paradise Hotel Busan‘
![Paradise Hotel Busan: lowest price on the official website](https://i0.wp.com/hotelinkorea.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-656-1024x503.png?resize=800%2C393&ssl=1)
I also explored prices directly from the ‘Paradise Hotel Busan‘ official website. The lowest price confirmed on the official website was confirmed to be $169.
Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, the ‘Sky Scanner’ offers the best deal at USD 164 for a stay at the ‘Paradise Hotel Busan‘ when booking through ‘Trip.com’. You might want to keep this information handy while booking.
★ Do bear in mind, these rock-bottom prices are subject to change based on your stay dates and when you’re conducting your search.
★ Also crucial to remember – today’s best deal doesn’t necessarily promise future savings.
★ Consider this ‘Lowest Price Analysis’ as a guiding light rather than an absolute rule.
★ For savvy hotel booking, I’d recommend revisiting these comparison sites during your accommodation planning phase – you never know when you might stumble upon an even better deal!”
And with that, we wrap up our review of the ‘Paradise Hotel Busan‘, seen through a distinctly Korean lens.
