  • They are different dates. The quote was 30 July-4 days.Thats why you cant find it
    Anyway, your dates 19 feb 2 days
    Not much I can see unless you ruff it in a 3 star.

    Beaugrenelle Tour Eiffel Arr14/15:Montparnasse-T. Eiffel, Paris

    Easyjethotels price £192 B+B
    Alpharooms price £116 B+B
    Diff = 76
    double = 152
    Your effective price 192-152=£40

    £10 each per night. You couldnt buy breakfast for that (or a pint hardly)

    hi went ahead and done it where is the form to fill in on easyjethotels? couldnt see it and what details do i need to provide to them - a link?

    Hi All,

    Right.... (long post sorry)
    I have details now I'm at home of what I've booked!
    It's for next weekend so I'm getting quite jittery!
    (I know I'll lose £25 if I cancel by Wednesday, but I thought I'd take the chance.)

    I found the 4* MacDonald Holyrood Hotel in Edinburgh on Easyjet hotels for £1146 (blimey!) for 2 persons in a 'standard' Double Room (The Holyrood Hotel only has 'classic' Doubles by the way - and 'Feature' and 'Executive' ones too) with Breakfast for 3 nights from 16 Feb - 19 Feb.

    I then found on Superbreak (Yeah I know, I know) the same deal for £450.

    So (taking screen shots first) I filled in the price guarantee form on Easyjethotels.

    I received a French automated reply last night as is normal.

    This afternoon I received an email from Hotelopia support asking for a screen shot as they couldn't find the Superbreak deal available (I have looked this evening and they are right, it isn't now!)

    So I have sent off the screen shots.

    I also found on Hotelconnect.co.uk a cheaper deal still, (available) at a price of £353 for the same thing.

    I have also sent details and a screen shot of that on the email (It's still within the 24 hours).

    So, as Hotelopia are asking for screenshots to prove the Superbreak price, can I assume that maybe they might take them as a comparison? Because surely if they didn't, that would have been what they said? (By the way - Superbreak are usually way overpriced and the price that usually shows on Hotelscomparison for 2 people is usual per person when you go to check the price on the Superbreak site - so beware).

    Well, I will let you all know the outcome.

    Cheers,
    Caroline.

    Hi
    I have found the following hotel that this deal seems to apply to. What do you think?

    Silken Gran Havana Hotel 4* in Barcelona. Arrive 24 Feb for 4 nights.
    1 Double/ Twin Standard B+B

    Easyjet price £614.00
    Travel Republic Price £330.23
    Difference £283.77
    Refund due £567.54 (2 x £283.77)
    Therefore pay £46.46 (£614.00 - £567.54)

    Next problem is that I can't seem to find any cheap flights from Bristol/ London that match the dates. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Odyssey.....

    Using Skyscanner.net, the cheapest low cost airline prices (to/from same airport) for those dates seem to be these
    Easyjet 17:15-20:30 London Luton Barcelona
    EasyJet 21:30-22:55 Barcelona London Luton
    Total each person £57.98 inc taxes.

    Times might not suit you though. Gatwick is cheaper on way out but you would come back to different airport and I don't know if you are leaving your car at airport!
    Good Luck,
    Caz.
