    Used them a few times for accom and transfers without problems. Worth checking Alpharooms as well - generally similar prices, but you get the occasional place where there is a fair difference.

    Enjoy your trip!

    Hi

    I used them recently for overseas hotel accommodation. They were cheaper than every other site including the hotel's own. Just be aware that they do make a charge if you pay by credit card (but it still worked out cheaper).

    I'd definitely use them again.:)

    another positive vote for Travel Republic from me
    have used them for the last 3 years, without a glitch
    also using them this year (this Sunday to be exact)

    there prices are well cheaper than most

    I have always waited until just after Christmas
    as the last 3 years they always have a sale
    managed to get 11 nights all inclusive in Majorca in mid July for £1150, :j:beer::j:beer:
    booked flights independently though (£350)


    (there's also been a few similar threads similar to this)

    something I find odd though, when I have booked the hotel I prefer
    the child's age group only goes up to 12 years of age
    yet other travel company's go to 16 to the same hotel
    my daughter has been 12 for the last 2 years now ;););)

    Used them a few times usually without an issue.

    AlthoughI booked with them recently and they sent the email saying the reservation was on request and I would recieve my accomodation voucher shortly. However that never came and I got an email from them the next day stating the accomodation was no longer available.

    They did refund me very quickly though so no problems there.

    I've used them many times - including a couple of months ago during the volcano saga when they looked after me brilliantly. I'd definately recommend them
