Hi there - think I have just found a gl*tch on the alton towers hotels website - was looking at a weekend stay for my boyfriends birthday and on his birthday they seem to have family rooms (sleep up to 4) for just £104!

I've booked and it's gone through at this price, took screenies just in case though as soon the other weekends it's £100 dearer.


Look at Sat 8th May for the bargain rooms. Other weekend dates seemed to be more expensive.

The park is open, can't see any restrictions or anything but anyhoo it's a hotel stay for £50 per person!

Best of luck (hope they honour it!)

    Mother's Day is not Sat 8 May? It's 14 March.
    8 May is coming up as £239 for Alton Towers Hotel for me, £119 for Splash Landings. Have a great time!

    Are you choosing just one day admission?

    Did you choose to stay on the Monday or the sunday.

    Thanks

    My quote was for the saturday night, no park tickets (just hotel) as we have passes. But it's the cheapest I have ever seen it on a saturday night, usually £200 odd.
