    i don't understand, whenever i click on a date that says it's 25p it takes me to a page where the prices have changed to full rate, what am i doing wrong?


    same here! how annoying!
  • I've just booked 2 rooms. Has anyone had a confirmation email yet?

    actually i thought that too but if you keep bringing up the proper price and try it a few times you can get it to come up the right price even if you add some one on. as long as you get the 25p option to come up after you've clicked it on the schedule it should work.

    i finally managed to nab a 25p room for my daughter and myself in edinburgh so we can go see the christmas village in december. i'm going back in to book the night before for 12.50, wish me luck!

    Thank you for this, it is unfortunately too late now, they are all gone!
  • same for me, found a couple of dates at different locations for 25p, when you click through it goes up to full price.
    Gutted :(
    Everyone who thanks me when ive helped will get a 5% share when I win this weeks Euromillions......:p

    Yes it's a bargain if you can accept the standard of accomodation.

    What is room cancellation insurance? Does anyone know please?
    Do you get charged if you book a day you are not sure of and then can't make it (even though you have 'paid' for the room)? Thanks.

    i've had my confirmation text for one of the nights i booked (got too excited and forgot to click yes for the first one!)

    i paid 25p for dec 15th in edinburgh and 12.65 (includes 15p text fee) for the 14th of december in edinburgh at the same place. WOOHOO

    only just this morning was i telling my daughter i wished i'd booked the shandwick travelodge a few months ago for 29 quid a night :rotfl:

    much better deal now, TWO nights mid december, full swing of the christmas village and all the magical christmas splendour that edinburgh puts on each year for a mere 12.90 :T

    thank you sooooo much to meerustar for this!

    my impression is that you pay that so that if you need to cancel you can get a refund. normal booking policy for cheap rooms is pay now and NO refund if you can't make it. obviously it's not worth it on a 25p room, however if you're in doubt and pay for a 12.50 room or higher then it could be worth it EDITED TO ADD: i just printed out my email confirmations and it states specifically that saver rooms can be cancelled but not refunded at all so don't waste your money on the cancellation insurance if you're getting a saver deal.

    btw we're heading off on monday to enjoy a room at the rose street travelodge in edinburgh that i booked about 4 months ago for 9 quid! can't wait... and i still can't believe my luck, how on earth did i get a room at the end of the fringe festival on rose street (next street over from princes street!) for so little? oh yes it was wonderful folks like all of you cluing me in on it! this single mum really appreciates everyones help as rates like this give me and my daughter much needed breaks away since we can't afford a proper holiday. thank you!
