Hotelopia

Way cheaper than booking direct with the hotel, which is why I started using them. Found a place in Edinburgh for our weekend and the app was dead easy. Got the confirmation straight away.

Sensible for hotel booking, and I know the sector well after years of travelling for work. The listings show the cancellation terms clearly, which is the thing I check first. Booking in Nottingham took a few minutes. Hard to fault.

This is the best way to book a hotel, and I say that after years of doing it the old way. I have used them for city breaks, a few weekends away and one long trip to the Lake District. Every booking has been easy to change and the confirmation emails have always been clear. I've never had a booking go wrong with them.

Good enough for a quick booking on my phone while waiting for a bus. Found a room near Reading for a Thursday night, took about five minutes, and the confirmation came straight through. Not the cheapest I checked but close enough.

I'd compared them with two other sites before booking and this came out a bit cheaper for the same hotel in Leeds, so that's what I went with. The booking itself was simple enough. Only niggle was the room being a touch smaller than the photos made it look.

The map view on the app is the bit I used most, scrolling round to see what was near the station. Booked a place in York in about five minutes between meetings. Confirmation came straight through.

We required a room with parking for our trip to the Cotswolds, as we were driving down from the north. I did find this site perfectly suitable for the search and the booking was done in good time. The confirmation included the car park details, which was very helpful indeed. Everything went according to plan and I have no complaints.

Found cheap rooms in Newcastle for a work trip and the price stayed the same right through to checkout, which I wasn't expecting. Booked a room and got a confirmation with the hotel address and check in time. Paid with my card and it was all sorted. Good value for a business trip.

Booked a room in Brighton for my girlfriend's birthday on the way to a train. The app kept my details saved so I only had to tap through. The hotel had got the room ready with a little note, which was nice. Check in was quick and the whole thing took maybe ten minutes.

Needed a last minute room near Manchester airport after a delayed flight home, and this was the quickest I found. Booked it at midnight on my phone. The room was fine, though the check in desk wasn't staffed as early as I'd hoped so I waited a bit. Would still use them.

I'd been asked to find a room in York for my husband's cousin's visit, and I'm not terribly good with these websites. The search was clear enough and I was able to see the hotel's accessibility details without much trouble. The booking went through without any fuss and the confirmation arrived promptly. I'd happily use them again for a short trip, though I'd like the price to be a little lower.

We needed somewhere close to the venue for my sister's wedding, and I was rather nervous about booking a hotel online for such an important weekend. The confirmation came through promptly and the room was exactly as described. I'd happily use them again.

We needed somewhere accessible for my mum who uses a wheelchair, and it was a relief to find the filters for it. I compared a few sites first, and this one was the only one where the accessibility details were easy to check. The booking went through without any problems and the hotel in Bournemouth was ready for us. Mum was happy, which is what matters.

Compared this with another booking site and it wasn't as cheap for the same hotel in Liverpool. I went with it anyway because the reviews of the hotel looked better. The booking went through but I had to wait about twenty minutes for the confirmation email to come through, which made me a bit nervous. The room was fine once we got there. Not sure I'd rush back.

I've used them for a week in Lisbon last spring and again for a short break in Bath this autumn, and both went smoothly. The hotel in Lisbon was a little further out than the map suggested but the transfer info was clear. Customer service was quick when I needed to change my check in time. I'll keep using them.

Booked a hotel in Dublin for a stag do and the group booking was a bit of a faff. I had to split the rooms and pay in two goes. The hotel itself was fine and the check in went smoothly. Just a bit fiddly for a group.

The filter for free cancellation was what made me pick them over the other sites I tried. I had looked at three or four before, and the prices were close, but this one let me sort by it straight away. Booking took about two minutes and the hotel was spot on.

Booked a room in Reading on my phone while waiting for a bus and the price looked fine until I got to the last screen where a booking fee had appeared out of nowhere. Not huge but annoying when you're rushing. The room itself was ok and the confirmation email came straight through, so i can't really complain about the actual booking. They could make the fees clearer earlier though, that's all.

Compared with another booking site, this one was not quite as cheap for the same hotel in Glasgow, but it had free cancellation which the other didn't. The booking itself was straightforward and I got the confirmation within a minute. I did find the room was a bit further from the centre than the listing suggested. Still, I'd use them again for the flexibility.

The price comparison bit is what I liked most, seeing the same hotel across a few dates. Booked a place in Bristol for a festival weekend and it was fine. Only thing was the email took a while to arrive.
