 Poster: A snowHead
|
This evening I tried in vain make to book online at a few hotels in Austria. However every one said that there was no availabilty in that time (ie Jan to March 2008). Is this a reflection of them being booked up already or is it far too early.
Any advice or assistance please.

Potentially but nothing like getting on the phone to double check. I go to North Wales on business. There is a lovely hotel I like to stay in. According to thier on line booking system they have been full for the last 3 years. Everytime I phone I get a room. I have politely tried to explain that people coming from abroad are not likely to phone. They say they know there is an issue but have done nothing about it. 'E' business gone mad.
Potentially these places are full but worth a call.

killian,
I always use e-mail... far easier to get a proper answer and you can talk to the person who replies by phone to confirm if nned be
And if the example that gwaelod shows is in anyway typical for small family type hotels, how are you going to trust their booking system ?

Go to their on line booking system and see if you can get a room. I have told them for 2 + years now it does not work. Can they be bothered diasbling it and saying phone us? How not to run a business.
