    Once youve booked, spill the beans so others can get it too.

    There is no doubt that Easyjethotels are doing all they can to make claims invalid. Before I made my two bookings I emailed the competitors sites and asked if the rooms were the same and were they available. This proved invaluable in the case of one booking where Easy.... wanted to throw out my claim because they said the rooms were different. I then emailed the hotel and had another confirmation that the rooms were identical. Took me 11days but they had to honour the claim.

    So folks do the preperation first and you will have them by the *****

    Thanks Bobstheboy,

    I have an email from the hotel confirming that the rooms are the same, but they are still refusing to honour the claim!

    I'm not giving up though! x
    Gone ... or have I?

    As mentioned, Cyprus doesnt count BUT all the Greek Islands do. Select Athens. Box below choose destination ie all islands or you can choose from a list. It clearly indicates, the DD guarantee in the search results.

    Quick rooms should be OK for future price matches though

    Theres no reason Thomson shouldn't be valid EXCEPT possibly if they charge a credit card fee. The way round this is either to add it on to your price claim (If you pay EJH with a CC) or simply pay EJH with a debit card, then they can have no argument whatsoever.

    I Know what you are thinking Mandy, with these £1 and £2 rooms you keep finding, we could be on to a winner.

    yep was thinking of the £1 rooms..lol
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Sorry, didnt realise that the links didnt work - the EJH Hotel one is quoted a s double/twin but the Otel.com is quoted as a Double room booking.....

    Will they pick up on this one then? Even if its the same room?

    Thanks for replying!

  • Hi Tinkerbell, would you mind to post the details of the deal you found in london? Or PM me if you can, I'm looking for shortbreak in Uk as having some trouble going to europe after Apr, has spent almost 3 weeks looking for hotels in Scotland but couldn't find anything, it would be great helpful if you can let me know the deal in London...fancy a nice shopping break..
  • this site is running a bit slow!

    Anyway WOLFHOUND i have found some tasty deals. My friend flew to Girona and got a bus to BCN (1 Hr) and I booked her in a H10 Montcada. Trouble is they want £507 (its a lovely hotel, bubbly on arrival, rooftop jacuzzi) but octopustravel only want £287.25 so after the discount you will have 3 nights for £67ish. No bad eh!! get the claim in quick though

    Thanks for your help TBeckett100, we decided in the end just to bite the bullet and stay in Girona for a relaxing few days ( blooming fortune )
    before touring the south of France the next week, thats already paid for thank goodness :rotfl:
    Hope you all enjoy your cheapies.
