A free night (or £25 off ) hotel rooms

[crombiestone]

Hi

I found out about this through moneysavingexpert.com

If you register with this site you will get £25 towards your first hotel stay

http://www.hotelclub.co.uk/tube/

The Aquafun hotel in Hurghada is £24 per night for 2 people so this equates to a free night including breakfast .

It may not be the ultimate in luxury but can you complain for nothing ?

We have booked a night as a break from our holiday in El Gouna to sample the Hurghada nightlife so I will let you know what it is like when I get back.

NB this isn't limited to Hurghada ,its any hotel on the site .

It could be handy if people need a first night before handovers ?

EDIT

!!!!!Stop Press . During Christmas you can now add another $30 to this giving a total of approx £50 . Read post #7 to see how !!!!

As promised a review of our stay at the Aqua Fun !

The hotel should be prosecuted under the trades description act for its name as our stay was no fun at all.

The room was dingy and smelled of the food from the kitchens . The bathroom was old and flooded when the shower was used . The sheets were grey and had remaining stains even though they appeared to have been laundered . The beds (there were 3 ) were either rock hard or over soft and had seen better days. The breakfast wasn't worth getting up for ,even the cornflakes were not edible and they had the cheek to charge 150le for fresh orange. God knows what was in the free stuff . The hotel also seems to be aimed 99.9% to Russian package holidays . I'll say no more than that.

The location is in the thick of Sekalla but after coming from the tranquility of El Gouna it was all a bit too much for us . Thank heavens for the new marina which was a haven and redeemed the overnight visit ,but to be honest ,we could have gotten that in El Gouna.

There are other hotels in Hurghada available on the hotel club website,to which you can apply the £25 discount and pay the balance. I would strongly advise you do this !

Oh dear Crombie, sounds about like the hotel we stayed in Majorca a few years ago! I take it you won't be staying there again then

Hi Crombie - thanks for the follow up and warning! Thankfully ( by the sounds of it ) you werent booked in for a fortnight!

Just realised a typo . the OJ was 15le not 150 ! £15 for OJ would have been a bit much.
