    Hello all!

    Please can someone help me find a room in Edinburgh? :) I've been looking since early this morning and still not had any luck! :confused:

    I'm looking to go from 7th-9th September (I could possibly go the weekend before or after this date as well). Would prefer a hotel in / close to the city.

    Looking for as cheap as possible, thanks in advance.

    You could book Travelodge Central @ £70 pn- it really is right in the old town.= £140

    or

    You could price match Active Hotels against Londontown.com

    See my guide for exact method

    APEX EUROPEAN HOTEL 7 Sept 2 nights rm only

    Londontown £258 (select option 2 pay on departure , option 1 is prepay, no cancelation allowed)

    Active hotels £238 as are booking.com (same booking conds as LT option 2)

    Londontown should match the price and give you £100 so your effective price will be £138 after cashback.

    Remember this is risk free, as theres no upfront payment and you can cancel without charge right up to the arrival day

    Thanks dmg24, TBeckett100 & budgetflyer for your help. Think I'm going to give the Londontown price guarantee a shot!

    In an effort to bump up the total, please could someone inform me if holidaynights can be used as a comparison.

    It does not appear on either list and a search of the site has not brought up an answer.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Have I got my anniversary sorted.........

    Carlton Hotel - Edinburgh 26/08 - 28/08
    Superbreak - 268 inc scottish breakfast
    EJ - 434 inc scottish breakfast

    hope this would mean after refund I'd get the hotel for £102 for 2 nights?

    Is this right - really scared about booking coz I've never tried this before - the only conceivable difference I can see is that the superbreak website call the hotel Paramount Carlton and EJ call it the Carlton - it is the same hotel though!

    Any help/advice would be really appreciated

    Cheers - La x
    Ladedah :p

    A small one for the pot - approx £330.

    My friend, with my help and the fantastic advice from this thread, had two nights at the Holyrood, Edinburgh for £40 ish, with an upgrade to the VIP suite on the second night. She hasn't stopped talking about Paul the butler since!

    Kind regards

    I am fairly certain that is the company whose price was accepted for my friend. At the time we weren't sure if they were acceptable and so did have another back-up price just in case but when we worked out her refund it definitely wasn't the second company's price. (There was a slight discrepancy in the refund that I thought she should be getting and what EJH said she was getting but she never queried it. She was just too delighted to be getting such a good hotel for such a fantastic price.)

    Kind regards
