    Hi N20Y1D

    Sorry I cant beat that - that's a great price for that hotel
  • Right then....a slightly different one to beat.....

    I'm looking for 4 nights hotel accomodation in Abu Dhabi 25/11/16 - 29/11/16 - ideally a hotel with a pool and price to include brekkie aswell

    This weekend is Formula One Grand Prix weekend

    I have booked a couple of times with online operators and then once the voucher has been issued get told that the hotel is imposing a surcharge (one was 1100AED per night charge!!!!) and this has seemed common practice for the Formula 1 weekend

    Looking to pay upto £200 per night to include brekkie and all service charges/taxes

    Can anyone help me???? I'm getting cheesed off as I want to see Abu Dhabi and would rather try and stay there than Dubai
