We booked a Travelodge but were forced to move hotel after 1am
We told it of our 11pm arrival time but when we got there our room was no longer available as it had ‘overbooked’
中文導讀
近期有旅客預訂 Travelodge 酒店,儘管已事先通知會喺深夜抵達,但到達後酒店竟以「超額預訂」為由拒絕提供房間,令旅客被迫喺凌晨時分轉往其他酒店。呢單新聞反映出英國酒店業嘅預訂系統存在漏洞,即使旅客已經預先通知行程,亦未必能確保入住權益,移英港人喺外遊預訂住宿時,務必留意相關風險,以免行程受阻。
