    As Teletext did not list the £80 extra charged for a Bronze Room that did not exist, Mastercard have asked me to provide written confirmation that this is the case.
    Hotel gave me an address when I left to contact the Director.
    Needless to say Teletext did not call me back.

    Only contact I have had from Teletext have been several Emails when I complain promising to investigate and ring me.
    One month later I have had no response at all.

    So the teletext rep who posted on here is very representitive of the company as a whole.

    All promises but no action.


    I see you are doing your best to keep these posts at the top

    The first thread I put on Vents and over 5000 have and still are viewing.
    I added this thread to warn anyone who was about to book with Teletext Holidays.
