Why I couldn’t cancel my hotel room booking

27
A hotel bell

With the (mostly) beautiful weather we’ve been having there’s never been a better time to enjoy a staycation in the UK. But if circumstances intervene and you have to cancel a hotel room – can you?

Are you ready to take a break from technology?

8

When we’re on holiday, gadgets and wi-fi help us stay in constant contact with friends, family, and even work from the comfort of our hotel rooms. But shouldn’t holidays help us detox from technology?

Hungry for a five star hotel breakfast

7
A hotel breakfast with eggs, croissants and hot drinks

According to Which? members, Travelodge has the worst quality and worst value of breakfasts out of all UK hotel chains. In our recent survey, the chain only got one star for breakfast quality, and two stars for price.

Trust in the stars – do you have faith in hotel ratings?

7
Cartoon of hotel star ratings

Do you trust hotel star ratings? I gave up long ago, and now make my own judgements based on photos, videos and reviews online. Are hotels really as good as their stars make out?

There’s room for improvement with cut-price hotel offers

2

When you see an eye-catching hotel offer advertised online, how confident are you that the deal will actually be available at that price? After telling us your stories of unavailable offers, we decided to investigate.

Have you found hotel website prices misleading?

10

Do you expect to see the full price when you search for hotels online? We found many UK hotel chains breaching government guidelines and advertising rules by not including VAT in headline prices online.

Is a good discount key to your choice of hotel?

1

Whether I’m doing my supermarket shop or eating out with friends, I always keep my eye out for discounted offers. So it’s no wonder that people booking hotels are doing just the same.

Will you take a last minute holiday to getaway from the Games?

0

So the Olympics are finally upon us, and all those gloom-mongers who couldn’t face the disruption have headed off on holiday. Another two million have been tempted by a last minute break – are you one of them?

The cost of afternoon tea – high tea or highway robbery?

22

Recently, there’s been a huge surge in the popularity of afternoon tea in the UK. But top of the range teas can now cost up to £85 a person in some London hotels…

Can you trust ‘best price guarantees’ on hotel sites?

14

When you’re booking with a major hotel chain, you want to make sure you get the best price. Many chains promise this with ‘best price guarantees’, but we’ve found these are often not worth the sites they’re written on.

Running up London’s hotel prices – the big Olympic ‘rip-off’

10

If you plan to stay in one of London’s hotels during the 2012 Olympic Games, you could end up paying hundreds of pounds more per night. How much would you pay to stay in a hotel during the Olympics?

Can you rely on Tripadvisor reviews?

25
Keyboard in the sand

Tripadvisor has been in the press a lot lately – and not always for the right reasons. Now the company is responding with a new ‘people like me’ function to filter out reviews that aren’t relevant to you. Will it work?

Hotels – stop ripping us off with high wi-fi charges

17
Man working on laptop on hotel bed

Not long ago free hotel wi-fi was a nice-to-have perk, but not something to get too annoyed about if it wasn’t offered. But, with such an increase in portable technology, shouldn’t hotels be making it free?

Booked a hotel for Wimbledon? Welcome to Basingstoke

0

If you’ve booked a hotel package for a sports event, it’s reasonable to expect your hotel to be in the same city as the event. Why are travel agents making such simple mistakes?
