    well i have one night still to book in Iceland. do i stay at the Lagoon for £110 a night or book the Radisson SAS in Reykjavik for £130.00 a night and pricematch it at 90, and get the room for £50 net.... hmmm

    certainly will be using this trick for all future breaks, and i go on 5 a year!
  • yes i have
    I booked through easyjet hotels and got double the different but they only refund you after you have completed your holiday stay
    I saved 175 pounds great stuff:rotfl:

    Can anyone confirm whether or not laterooms.com is a company that fits the conditions of easyjethotel's double the difference promise?
    I've found an identical room, same date etc, but its a very expensive hotel, so wanted to try get some feedback before I go ahead with the booking.
    Thanks

    Afraid not robgb
    Laterooms only secure the room for you. You pay the hotel direct so it doesnt qualify for the "double the difference cashback"

    Whats the hotel and dates and Ill have a scoot aboot

    Ok thanks for letting me know.
    How about activehotels.com or bookings.org?

    Thanks again
  • budgetflyer, yes they did agree to refund the whole amount. Their email read as seen below:-


    Your Double Price Guarantee Claim is accepted and a full refund will be made to your credit/debit card after the completion of your stay.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us.



    I don't know why the freakily cheap deal appeared on AlphaRooms, it was only there a couple of days and then the price went back up to the previous amount.

    Thanks again :T

    We're very flexible as I can drive, but preferably south west somewhere, ie bristol, bath or cardiff. London would also be ok.
    I'd like to get somewhere nice as its a suprise (she is expecting a travelodge!), so 4* or 5* min, and that gives a good impression.

    Thanks mate
