Leeds Hotel

Hello!
I need some help please! Booked a night away to Leeds in May and someone has backed out so I know have a spare room but can't get the money back on it. What can I do as I will be out of pocket?? Can I sell it on and if so where as I haven't got an ebay account?

Thanks in advance for your help.:)

  • Still haven't managed to fill the room.
  • No?? I have booked rooms to go away to leeds for the night but two people that were sharing one of the rooms have dropped out, hence the reason I have to cancel it. As I bought it on the last travelodge sale it says on the website that I can't get my money back, I am wondering if anyone has been in this situation before and managed to get their money back-are they willing to bend the rules a little??

    Nope they won't bend their rules, you will lose the money for that room. we lost 2 rooms at gatwick because of a flight change, i was told you want flexability book a flexable room:eek:. only paid £12 per room but thats beside the point...
  • Thanks anyway! My 'friends' won't give me the money back even though they confirmed that they would definately be coming...so annoyed!!

    Take care selling this to strangers - what if they smoke in the room, or worse?

    You will get the bill for all damages.

    (And it's against the ts + cs, as well as cancelling the room if they find out, they can blacklist you for the future).
  • Thanks for the advice Quentin, not thought of that. :(
