Hotel thread London

[ingridswing]

Hi all,

In the next two messages you will find the offer of the two hotels. It's unfortunately not cheap, expensive area and a busy week due to European Bankholiday (except Netherlands at least, we have a bankholiday the week before).

Let me know as fast as possible what you choose, I will make a poll, so please wait with responding untill you see the three messages (this one plus 2 offers) and the poll.

There's another option and that's rely on booking.com and book the Copthorne Tara Hotel  London Kensington. It's now on non refundable rate for the nights of May 26th till May 28th (so 3 night) for 265,50 pounds. It's the cheapest one so far. But no guarantees how long this non refundable rate will stay.

Please please please: respond fast so we can decide today.

IBIS: Pre-payment only 14 days prior to arriva
        Price 99 to 119 pound per night
        Breakfast Included

Mercure: Prepayment when booking
               Price 90 to 105 pound per night

Copthorne Tara: Prepayment when booking
                           Different price, can be sold out soon says booking.com

First of all THANK YOU Ingrid for contacting hotels and trying to get fans in the same hotel!
It must be a lot of work arranging things like this! 

I choose for the Ibis Earl's Court hotel, but as always in cases like this the Copthorne Tara might be as good as well! ......I don't mind! 

I hope we soon will know what to do, because I need to book for a few extra nights and don't want to wait too long!
Especial not because many hotels are already sold out!

Stupid question maybe, but:

Do I really have to book soo early, I mean 8 months before the show? I would have thought of making decisions in early 2013... Tried to book a night in Cologne for the July show but wasn't successful, not yet possible online...

I can assure you they aren

[Fieneke2]

LOL LE ! Just like you I thought I had time enough, but being curious to the hotels I have been searching for some
of them in the Kensington area and guess what!!!   ......I searched through booking.com and some of them are already sold out! Well they are expensive hotels nearby the RAH
and I wouldn't choose them, but knowing it will be Bank Holliday it can get busy there!

Of course London is a big city and there must be hundreds of hotels at other parts of the city where you can
order a hotel room, but .......I am looking forward to meet some fans! It will be a little vacation for Jans and me
and during the day we both will be busy visiting beautiful places, but if the fans meet in the evening in the hotel
then that would be wonderful!
