“Hotel Breaks don't bother”

Written on: 03/07/2012 by Caroline0263

Ordered tokens to part pay for Hilton Hotel. Checked on website of flexible bed and breakfast rate for 2 nights - total was £196, the best rate was for £142 for 2 nights. I ordered my Tesco tokens and then went on to book the hotel, I was told that because I was using Tesco vouchers
it would actually cost £339 for the two nights, I only had £120 worth of tokens and I would then have to pay £229 by debit/credit card. Tesco customers are paying almost double the rate and penalised for having vouchers. Don't bother, check on laterooms.com or booking.com.

Absolutely totally agree - on the front of it seems like a great deal as everyone now buys their hotel rooms on the web and we researched our rates on the web before exchanging vouchers. We were told that this rate on the web was an offer and our vouchers could not in conjunction with another offer. W T F, that is your prices, who books their rooms any other way??

Now you also dont need a maths degree to work out that with the above figures you end up spending more money topping up the vouchers than if you book direct online or through laterooms.com. We have now lost £80 in tesco clubcard vouchers which would have bought a fortnights shopping!!

Also without meaning to sound arrogant, this isnt going to wreck my financial situation but for someone who plans this as a weekend away I want them to see this review and spend their well earned money on something else rather than waste their clubcard vouchers which could but a family their weeks shopping.

I havent checked to see if Tesco would refund these vouchers back to normal ones I can spend in store but I would imagine that they probably wouldnt!!!

Find another deal that you research throughly or just use them to buy your shopping.
