Tomich wrote: Which online booking service did you use for booking a hotel in London, and were they reliable? T. & family www.londonnights.com I had one issue with them regarding a cancelled hotel booking. If you do not get a cancellation email (even if it says the booking is cancelled online) make sure to go back and keep sending cancellation notices until you get a cancellation email. The payment terms are usually payment direct to the hotel, and you can pay any way you like, cash or credit card. Some rates are very good. -R |

Which online booking service for London hotels?
Thank you for your suggestions of using Priceline (found some hotels there
too, now I'm comparing the prices), I'll check out LondonNights as well. I'm currently checking out Venere.com, recommended by Viamichelin. I have a problem in finding out how much the end price would be, regarding the child policy: - some hotels have "children" legend, which I take it they allow children - I wrote to Venere.com customer service about it, and their response was the following: "All rooms booked through our website are guaranteed to accommodate two adults. Although we do not offer special discounts for children, a child may stay in the room if at least one person in your party is 21 years of age or older. If you are traveling with more than two guests, we suggest you request more than one room" I'm not sure if that means that: - a child is allowed in the double room with adults over 21 (which of course we are) free of charge, and in that case, will she get an additional bed (no cot, she's 3yo) - a child is allowed in the double room... with a supplemental fee and her own bed. I'm now thinking my best bet would be to book a triple room and be done with it, but triple rooms are hard to find during Christmas period in central London (I'm thinking Bayswater). Anyway, I wrote them back asking them the same question, but I'd like to know your input on the subject, if you have any to offer, it would be appreciated. |

I often use www.lastminute.com and www.laterooms.com for London, and have never had a problem with bookings made through either. For cheapo rooms www.hostelbookers.com is also worth a look. |

We ask you to visit our website to check the prices and contact the hotel *after your reservation has been booked* to inquire about the child in the room." Which prompts me NOT to use their services. I'm currently checking out Lastminute.com, recommended to me on the Italian travel newsgroups. Any comment on their service? |

This one in the Blue Mountains is near to where I was in the motorhome, camping overnight a few years back. When you wake up to the smell of smoke, the sound of roaring crackling fires and the sky is blazing orange at 1 am - it gives you a different perspective. We managed to get out and down the hills to Penrith and spent the rest of that night in a side road in an industrial area. Two days later we were able to drive through again - miles and miles of charred bush and ash, smoking ruins of homes. I was in Melbourne on Ash Wednesday; you don't forget times like that. Two years back they came within a mile of home. So, I don't ever get blase about bushfires here.
