My general questions about such websites are could they find the lowest price and how accurate are the prices reflecteted o their website.

I narrowed my comparison to only the Pullman London St Pancras Hotel for my one night. The preview of the search results for the 2 websites are above. From a glance, the differences are easily noticeable.

 

First, my focus was on what’s the lowest search price from each website fetch me. For Trivago, the lowest was from Agoda.com offering S$236 for the Classic Room King Bed. While the lowest at Hotelscombined.com was from Prestigia.com at S$214 for Classic Twin Room which is another name for Classic Room King Bed. Both does not include Breakfast.
