Anyway to get a cheaper rate at Thistle Hotels

Del_Boy_Gupta

Does anyone know any codes/ways to get a discount at Thistle group of hotels?

I am visiting their one in Gatwick next week and just wanted to see if I could get a normal rate as opposed to their astronomically higher charges!

Thanks

Try and book through one of the many online agencies and pre-pay?
Booked some relatives in a Thistle in London next week, prepaid and knocked 40% off rack rates. They're not all the same though, so you might have to search a bit.
If you get a good deal, you can cancel the original reservation.

If its at gatwick, have you tried searching the airport hotels websites and seeing if it's cheaper on those instead of booking direct with the hotel? these cheap parking websites get some great deals for the rooms and you won't have to use the parking if you don't need it.

There is a site where you offer your own price but i can't remember the name of it.
Hopefully someone else will remember

Are you thinking of https://www.priceline.co.uk? Unfortunately you can't specify that you want to stay in a Thistle Hotel using this, but they do generally have chain hotels. We stayed in a Holiday Inn in central London for £45 (including all charges) last summer.

Alternatively, Thistle Hotels run an auction section on their website - but they only run auctions for weekends. I know of a family who got a room for 2 adults and 2 children for £75 (total cost of stay) for 2 nights in the Thistle at Tower Bridge just last month.

Yes VickyA that was the one I was thinking about.
I never knew about the auctions that sounds interesting.
