have loads of windows open and am looking all over!
thank you for replying!
ok, possibly the difficult bit is that we're hoping to go somewhere between 6th april and 15th april. the easy bit is that it can pretty much be anywhere! amsterdam i've tried but nothing doing. barcelona? copenhagen i'm in the middle of now. riga? vilnius? madrid? don't mind really!
any help gratefully received and i'll post what i've checked as i go along!
thank you loads!

Copenhagen is very expensive usually - very nice but very expensive.
How about ...
Barcelona
NH Numancia
6th April for 7 nights.
Easyjethotels £994 for double/ twin standard including breakfast
Find Rooms £558 for double/ twin including breakfast
Difference of £436, doubled to £872, makes it £122 for seven nights = £17.50 a night!
Anywhere else you fancy?
Edit: Not sure that this hotel is particularly central, but worth doing some extra research on?Gone ... or have I?0 -
wow! you *are* good!
well, i like cold and my wife likes hot! :rolleyes:
we both quite fancy riga (prob six nights on there) and that would be a good excuse to get the train across to st petersburg. rijeka might be nice or where else is spain would be good? somewhere with a bit of cultya and possibly warmth.
i'll just take a look at that other one after i've fed dw! she's not happy - but she doesn't know about where we're going yet!
thanks! brb!

Really frustrated-thought I'd found one for Istanbul, at the Taksim Gonen hotel, it was on EJH for £299 and laterooms at £148 a couple of hours ago. But now laterooms appear to have hiked their prices to £325 and I can't find any other hotels that qualify. Can anyone clarify for me which websites are eligable as comparisons, as I don't think Laterooms, Bookings and Venere are?2015 comp wins - £370.25

liz545 - You are correct, Laterooms, Bookings and Venere are not covered.
jmarko - Nothing springs out in Paris. Just having a look at the Algarve, then I'll look in Riga. I'm enjoying this!Gone ... or have I?0 -
