  • Hi folks,

    Whilst I completely understand the concept of lastminute.com secret hotels, I am failing in the execution...please help!

    I found a Top Secret hotel on lastminute.com - but the description paragraph is very short, bland and offers no distinctive phrases. It could well be my ineptitude - but has anyone any ideas?

    Here is what I have so far:

    It is a 4 star Kowloon hotel, (2 nights for £123.68). The description I have found is this;

    "4 Star hotel in Kowloon, 10 min ride to city center

    Rates are based on double occupancy. Charges for extra adults may apply and will be due directly to the hotel.

    Can you give a link to the lastminute.com listing for the secret hotel?

    ETA: cancel that, I've looked and it's no help. Sorry
  • Hi Mands,

    Thanks for looking at that - appreciate it! (Slightly glad it's not me just being a numpty).

    Cheers.
  • Futuristic property, few steps away from Montmartre
    Preserved by an hidden entrance, the address is only known to the initiated. From the bustle of the large boulevards, the hotel preferred the calm of a discrete small street, and the classical facade of a 19th century building to offer an original, high tech and playful experience.

    We've just booked the one promising a terrace overlooking the Eternal City. From the location and description it could be the same one. That turned out to be the Radisson Blu es Hotel Roma. I'm quite pleased as it was the cheapest of the top secret hotels for Rome and it will do us very nicely!
