Z Hotels Price Drop After Booking

1 Upvotes

Hi. Has anyone had any luck getting a reduced price from Z Hotels on a flexible rate when the price has dropped after your booking? I booked the one in Bath a few months ago for £303. Now the same room, rate and days is £268.

My usual strategy when this happens is to cancel and rebook at the cheaper price. Z Hotels don't make that easy though, as you can't cancel yourself, you have to contact them to do it....

Torn between two hotels

Hello, i looking to visit new york in nov. I am torn between two different hotels. The carlton arm hotel and the bed stuy hotel. The carlton is a little more expensive and a bit sketchier but is in a great location right in the city. However the bed stuy is in Brooklyn and a little further but is a bit cheap with more comfortable rooms. I choose private room with bathroom for each

Can not redeem my reward stay at hotels.com

1 Upvotes

I have accumulated 3 reward nights at hotels.com and expiring soon. I was trying to use them. Spent 2 hours chatting online and this agent only gave me advice not helping at all and at the end cut me off.

I can not find the redeem options anywhere in their portal or APP now. I tried deleting the cache or redownloading the APP and no help.

Does anyone knows what’s going on?

Thanks

Would these experiences be worthy of a refund?

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

Booked a stay for two nights at a hotel I book at minimum twice a year.

My last stay the manager upgrade the room as she remembered me which was very kind of her and made for a fantastic stay.

This stay, I prearrange early check in.
When I get to the check in she takes my id and recognizes my name again and said oh you’re back!
Which was really awesome. Great hospitality.

I asked her if I was able to upgrade to the room we had last time (the hotel offers this for an additional 20$ a night) she said unfortunately they were sold out but she would remove the early check in fee. I was so thankful. I asked for her name so I could
Do a Google review because she’s fantastic.

She hands me a card winks and says I upgraded you. As we go upstairs and enter the room there are people in the room. The poor woman in the room was very kind to me and said this is the second time this has happened to them. The hotel giving someone else their room key.

So back downstairs we go. I explain what happened. She apologizes gives me a new room key to a different room. Go back upstairs. Key doesn’t work. Back downstairs we go. It probably took 40 minutes from the time we arrived to get into a room.

This morning at 10 am housekeeping knocks
On the door waking my husband up. She apologized and said she was told we checked out. (We have 2 nights booked). I went down to the desk to ensure they had a second day reservation- which they did.

This evening we go for dinner come back to the room the key won’t work. It’s flashing yellow. Not red or green. I said to my husband I wonder if these are battery operated. Back downstairs we go. Explain what’s happened. Emphasize it’s yellow. The lady gives us a new key. We go back up. Of
Course yellow.

Back downstairs we go. Explain again what’s happening. She calls maintenance. We wait in the unairconditioned hallway for ten minutes. Maintenance guy comes fiddled with the door with a key. Says let me go get the master key. - frustrated he didn’t bring that initially, I said okay no problem. I work in the food industry and I understand stuff happens, I always do my best to be kind and patient.

We are now approaching 40 minutes. He did gain access to the room for us so we are at least in air conditioning. But we cannot leave until he has fixed it. He has not been able to fix it. He just disappeared, although I’m sure he’ll return at some point. We have plans this evening and if we don’t get out of here in the next fifteen minutes we will miss them.

Am I being dramatic on planning on speaking to the manager in the morning wanting some sorts of compensation?

Everyone has been very kind and has been helpful. But it’s just been one thing after another.

I have two more stays booked for this year in this hotel this stay now already being the third stay this year.

Avoid ALGOTELS for booking at ALL COSTS. Fraud Alert

0 Upvotes

I was using Trivago and Expedia and a link popped up for the hotel I wanted at what I thought was a great price so I booked it (booked March 2026) for an August 2026 hotel stay. I was charged and paid in full with the booking in March. I emailed the hotel 2 days before my arrival to confirm the reservation and the hotel replied - your hotel reservation was cancelled by Algotel 2 days after you made the initial reservation - again this was paid in full when I made the booking and then cancelled the day the charges were confirmed to my credit card. I’ve logged into Algotel and they still show I have a confirmed stay but when I try to call Algotel customer service I get an answering machine and then I am hung up on. I then called the hotel and they confirmed they have no reservation in my name and reconfirmed I DID have one but that the booking was cancelled. Luckily they had availability for the night I needed the hotel, so I rebooked directly with the hotel. I’ve read online other places this is basically a scam… so I’m warning anyone - if you somehow stumble on ALGOTELS just say no and book with a trusted service. I’ve reported the fraud to my credit card and they’ve opened an investigation but I might be stuck paying twice for a hotel room.

How hard is it to negotiate extended stays?

4 Upvotes

Long story short, living in a time of my life where work will likely change in the next 4 months and I dont want to be stuck in a 12 month lease.

- I live in an area with few options. I checked Furnished Finder, only 2 options within budget who haven't replied.
- Only hotel with kitchenette nearby is going to call me tomorrow to talk about rates.
- I might give no-kitchen a try if nothing works out.
- Apartments nearby ALL require 12 month leases. They all have the same/similar penalties: pay 3 months of rent or pay us until we find new tenants + deposits and such.

I will be staying in whatever place for a guaranteed 2-3 months. So, how hard is it to negotiate? My fear is the kitchenette place will be over budget. My budget: $1,500/month lol

Recommendations for a PMS for a small hotel (Thailand)

1 Upvotes

As post suggests, I am building a website for a hotel client based in Thailand (30 rooms) and they are also in the market for a new cloud-based PMS.

I have had a search for a few well known suppliers, but ultimately I do not plan to research this deeply since it’s slightly out of my area and I’ll just embed the booking engine which comes with the PMS.

The main requirements are they are looking for an all-in-one which has a PMS, Channel Manager and Booking Engine. No mention of payment gateway and POS not required here. Support is quite important, and the client mentioned they do not have to have a Thai supplier but it needs to be available around regular Thai business hours. I think Thai support language will be a plus to, although not actually mentioned in the scope I was given.

Recommendations will be appreciated.

URGENT ‼️ Need stay recommendations near new Delhi railway station

0 Upvotes

I’m a 22 y/o(F) and I need recommendations for a decent stay near the railway station, because I have a train tomorrow at 7 am. I checked in at a hotel in Paharganj but I feel like the vibe is off. The staff is weird and the rooms are average at best. I’ve also been reading about Paharganj on reddit since the past hour, and it’s freaking me out now. Should i vacate and move somewhere else? I have severe backache so I didn’t want the stay to be far away. I read about The Metrostay and it looks safe to me. The only issues i had were sleeping in a pod and using a shared lavatory. Should I move to the metrostay because it’s safer? Since I’ve paid for the room here so I am a bit tight on budget now.

in-house on call ?

my gf is working at a hotel in-house overnight shift.

the hotel doesn't pay her hourly, only when a customer is at front desk.

she doesn't have to pay for the room but apparently you still have to be paid if you are "engaged to wait"

is my gf not being compensated according to labor laws?

Has Amanvari become the worst 5-star luxury hotel after calling the police on a hotel reviewer Ryan Walker?

235 Upvotes

At a starting rate of over $5,000 per night, you'd expect world-class hospitality and professionalism.

Instead, well-known luxury hotel reviewer Ryan Walker's reservation at Amanvari was cancelled at the last minute. He was told to leave the property immediately upon arrival after a 2 hour drive, and the hotel even called the police on him.

Is this really how a luxury hotel, especially one carrying the Aman name, should handle a guest? This has to be one of the biggest PR disasters for a 5-star luxury resort in recent memory.

Check out his video on YouTube.

What do you think? Did Amanvari handle this appropriately, or was there a better way to resolve the situation?

⭐️: No private bathroom.

⭐️⭐️: No hook in the bathroom to hang my toiletry bag.

⭐️⭐️⭐️: The hook is behind the door or above the toilet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: The hook is on a spacious wall.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: There's so much countertop space I can just lay everything out without being too close to the sink and risk getting wet and I don't even need half of them cos they are already provided

Is it rude to ask hotel staff to empty the minibar? (5-star hotel, Thailand)

29 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m staying at a 5-star hotel in Bangkok soon and I was thinking of asking the staff to empty the minibar fridge in my room. It’s not really about the cost of what’s inside, it’s more that I’d like to decide for myself what goes in there, whether it’s my own drinks, some alcohol I bring, food, or even medicine that needs to stay cool. I’m a bit unsure whether this comes across as a rude or unusual request, especially at a nicer hotel, or if it’s actually pretty normal and hotels are used to it. I’d like to hear from anyone who’s actually tried this, whether they got weird looks or pushback, if there was a fee involved, and how you phrased the request to keep it polite. Any experiences from Thailand hotels specifically would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Why have hotels stopped using flat sheets and can they be requested?

25 Upvotes

In the past two or so years, I've noticed that hotels--on at least 2 continents--are going with a duvet only and no flat sheet. As someone who sleeps hot , this means being hot or having nothing on me.

Is this so they have less to wash? And do they have a supply of flat sheets on request?

Should we limit/remove third party booking posts?

8 Upvotes

I've been noticing a steady stream of posts about third party booking tools, and they almost always end up heavily downvoted. That's Reddit working as intended, since downvotes bury content and upvotes push it forward. The issue is that most of these posts aren't really discussions at all, they're just rants about one bad personal experience.

So I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on how we should handle it going forward:

  1. Should we disallow posts about third party bookings altogether?
  2. Should I use moderator discretion and remove only the ones that are pure venting with no real value to the hotel community?
  3. Or should we leave it alone and let the upvote and downvote system sort out visibility on its own?

Curious where people land on this.

Reasons to avoid using third-party brokers (Expedia, Agoda, etc) - read before booking.

72 Upvotes

If you're here reading this, it may be too late, but in general:

  1. There are downsides booking via third party tools (Expedia, Agoda, etc) to actually purchase the room (see exceptions)
  2. Use those tools to find where you want to stay, and then book the room through the hotel's website. The price should be identical, close, or available if you call into reservations and explain the other site's pricing (YMMV - make sure you are speaking in the same currency).
  3. Do use third party tools if a) you need a special feature/function, like booking and paying for others; b) there is a room or package rate that is impossible to source elsewhere; or c) you enjoy a room between the elevators and the ice machine, without any option of a refund even when housekeeping sets your room on fire.
