Unpackaged holidays

Hi,

Has anyone ever used or know anything about unpackaged holidays (https://www.unpackagedholidays.co.uk) for hotel bookings.

They seem to be a lot cheaper than their competitors but I can't find any mention of them on this site

Hope someone can help

    Welcome to MSE
    I have used them a couple of times to price up holidays and never found them to be cheaper the https://www.otbeach.com or puting it together with airline then one of the hotel finders
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • Thanks for your help and warm welcome guys.

    I've checked the other sites recommended and unpackaged holidays is half the price of the other sites ( 1 night stay in Budapest single occupancy in 4* art 'hotel)

    Obviously a really good cost saving but just a bit worried that the company is not bona fide........

    as long as they have the ATOL bond and you are booking flights and hotel your covered. Its interesting to know that you found them cheap for city breaks I have only checked them for beach breaks ...worth keeping an eye on tehm.
    Have you tried these 2 comparison sites
    https://www.hotelscomparison.com
    https://www.travelsupermarket.com its always worth double checking

  • travelsupermarket is where I found out about unpackaged holidays. WIll probably give it a go and hope for the best. Just a bit worried that the hotel will have no record of my reservation when I arrive (you have to pay unpackaged holidays in advance)

    Go on Friday. Can't wait!!

    e-mail the hotel 24 hours before you go to make sure and put your mind at rest
