http://www.eurocheapo.com/search/ This seems to be new - at least new to me, lists many places that are not on other search sites and the prices seem insanely inexpensive; especially in Venice. Too good to be true? Am I missing something in the fine print? I usually use venere.com and then confirm reviews on other sites. This eurocheapo site is like a whole other animal, and doesn't fit in with the usual prices, so it has me wondering what the deal, or possible catch, is.

Of lot of those low prices don't actually pan out. They might say "rooms from 56 euros" and you discover that that is for a single room for one person during low season, and with a bathroom down the hall.

It looks like they scan booking.com and lastminute.com for the more inexpensive prices. Not seeing anything different that isn't on those sites. It might be another useful site for researching prices. I would suggest researching the hotels carefully on other sites and seeing if you can get the same rate directly with the hotel as well.

That's what I was thinking. I typically research all the sites and read all the reviews. And sometimes that leads me right back to what RS has said in his books. All his experience really is worth the price of the books. This site just doesn't fit with all the others. So I was and am suspicious.
