I'm often wary when asked to look at a blog by someone whose main aim is to sell hotel bookings. But I do always look at all links submitted to Travel Notes (eventually).

I was pleasantly surprised with the blog from Asia Hotels.

Instead of blog entries describing different hotels, there's actually some very useful and interesting articles for travellers wishing to visit Asia and in need of some ideas. So good, that we've added the Asia Hotels newsfeed; for our visitors to reach in a click, from our Travel News page.

Some of the recent entries that you might find interesting are: Best Beaches in Asia, Three Cheapest Cities For Shopaholics (one of them was not in Asia); and Guide to Taj Mahal (they did slip an hotel link in this one).

Blog posts only started in July, 2007 so let's hope they have a lot more new material to add and don't give up when the comments don't flood in.
