Alpharooms.com

I managed to book some really cheap flights in July to Salou in Spain and then all I needed to get was some cheap accommodation. I surfed around for a bit checking out all the usual so called 'cheap' websites and couldn't really find anything I was looking for. Which was pretty much a decent 3* hotel in a good location for 4. We weren't bothered about sharing a room so air conditioning was a must and also a non-fresh water pool. On every website ...
...small fresh water pool self catering and no air conditioning for about £100 each for the week. Then there was nothing showing available for anything better. I then ventured on to www.alpharooms.com and was pleasantly surprised to find that not only were they selling the cheap low star accommodation at £20pp less than most websites they were also selling some good 3* half board hotels for around £140pp which I thought was a real bargain. £20 a night ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

The Boyfriend and I were excited! We'd finally managed to agree on flight times, find the passports and all that remained was to book our accommodation. We were going to stay with The Boyfriend's mum in Spain and as such only had to book a single night's stay in Malaga between the airport and collecting the car the following morning to drive into the mountains. Short notice holidays are where it's at for us; we both had to get time off work, scrape ...
...to be away - it's a matter of seizing the moment! As usual, we needed a speedy online booking, but this time it was complicated by my overwhelming desire to stay in a certain hotel - the AC Malaga Palacio. I'd researched many, many hotels in Malaga during the planning stages of our trip and narrowed it down to this one. With good reviews on the trusty trip advisor and pretty much every other site, every vision I had of our holiday had come to involve ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

Saw there were three reviews on Alpharooms, of which two seemed quite negative, so to redress the Balance, here we go. We had booked to go to Madeira to the Hotel Windor in Funchal, but Roz my sister-in-law saw a Vila Gale Hotel at Santa Cruz, as we have liked the Vila Gale chain, we decided to change. We had booked Hotel Windor through BOOKINGS.COM, and their cancellation was easy, no money had been paid up front and so their was no charge as ...
...ALPHAROOMS had come out the Cheapest when we used HOTELSCOMPARISON.COM to check prices. It was going to be £111 for three nights for Double Room with Buffet Breakfast & Sea View (Seaview worked out at only an extra £2 on the booking, not per night per person as saga Etc Charge). The booking process was easy, they did have a Cancellation Waver Charge of £6, which we removed, taking the risk ourselves, without the waver you would be charged 20% of ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

Used this company numerous times without a problem, BUT when a problem did arise they were extremely inefficient, which cost us the loss of air fares. We found out less than 3 days before travel that a room booked 5 months previous was overbooked, Alpharooms had known of this problem for a whole week before telling us, had they been efficient in passing on this information we would probably have had ample time to make alternative arrangements. When ...
...have simply said that they have met their terms and conditions, making no real apology for the wasted week. They have also issued marketing material stating that they are ABTA bonded yet I have a letter from them stating that they are not tied to ABTA or any other governing body. ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

Alpharooms was offering the best prices at the time when I booked, but the low price was not worth the trouble that I had with them after booking. Instead of one room, they charged my credit card for two rooms. I wasted a lot of time making noumerous calls, and I was told every time that there was only one booking on my name and that it was a mistake from my bank. I even sent emails and never received a reply. I did finally receive a refund, but 4 months later they sent me a letter claiming that I made a booking with them and didn't pay for it, the same one they had charged me by mistake! I am very unimpressed and would not recommend Alpharooms to anyone. ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

The first time I used Alpharooms was via a friend recommendation, and I haven't looked back! I prefer to book my flights and accomodation separately as more often than not this proves to be the most economical method for me, and have always found that Alpharooms offer great value for money hotels and apartments in a range of prices (99% of the time I have found these to be cheaper that the mainstream alternatives) and 'star' rating, together with ...
...with other travel agent sites, they display their results in a list format, and you can sort by price, start rating etc. Everything is done via email, and you recieve an 'Accomodation Voucher' which is used as your confirmation when you arrive at your hotel. Easy to negotiate website, and very user friendly - would definitely recommend! ...

We used Alpharooms.com few times for vacation in Canary Islands. Everything was OK. We would like to use Alpharooms.com again, but Alpharooms.com are not providing any service for Lithuania residents since this autumn. I can not even visit www.AlphaRooms.com: the site says errorPageIPBlocked.htm "We are sorry but AlphaRooms.com cannot sell in your territory at the moment." ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

Booked with Alpharooms for a visit to New York, filled in all the forms and paid wiht the credit card - 13 pound surcharge, but what do you expect? Well I paid but then had no confirmation e-mail, no e-mail contact at all except and automated reply when I contacted them, no telephone answers (all our phones are busy, please use this premium line), just automated replies to say that they would reply with or without confirmation within 48 hours. Maybe ...
...confirmed instant booking? Still they eventaully sorted out my booking after a couple of phone calls, adn a long wait. Wish I could give them more starts, they were cheap. Might try them again though. I am a cheapskate, and will spend hours trying for a few pounds off, then will spend a fortune on the phone trying to sort out minor details. ...

Review of Alpharooms.com

We booked, or thought we had, with Alpharooms in February but when we arrived at the hotel they said we had no booking, Alpha basically said they had booked the room and left it to us to fight it out with the hotel who, in the end, were very nice about it. We eventually got our room but this was down to our persistance and the hotel receptionist Marga, who was a darling. ...
