I am going to a wedding in the middle of this month. All rooms for the hotel are booked up but when surfing through the otel.com website I got a room for almost half the price of what the hotel charged the wedding guests!
I thought it was too good to be true especially when the confirmation email came in stating that the booking is handled through an office in Istanbul Turkey and the hotel had said that they were fully booked up.
I rang the hotel the next morning and was told that my booking was confirmed and all was in order, apparently they have to keep a certain number of rooms for some `hotelbeds` scheme.
So far so good!
