Room Types

What's the difference between a double room and a twin room?

A double room has one double bed. A twin room has two single beds.

We have two small children, can we get extra beds in the room?

This possibility depends on the hotel's policy and availability. In general, one extra bed for one child is available at a minor additional charge. We advise you to contact 'Customer Care' of that respective hotel for precise information.

I cannot see a particular room type offered on the hotel page. Can you help?

All the information you see on the pages of a particular hotel is supplied by the hotel itself. We at Hotels Angel do not have any additional information available. In order to find out if a hotel has your desired room type available, you may request for more information when going through the booking process.

Pricing

Do I pay a reservation fee?

No, we will not charge you a reservation fee.

Is breakfast included in the price?

Once you have retrieved the availability for a specific hotel for the requested dates, please click on the room name to find information about breakfast, taxes and room facilities.

Are taxes included in the room rates?

It depends upon the individual policies of the hotel. However, we suggest you to confirm once before you opt for booking.

A hotel I like is showing a special offer on your website. Can you guarantee that I will indeed be charged this price if I make a booking?

All information, pricing, special offers, etc. are supplied by the hotels themselves and can only be guaranteed and confirmed by the hotels. After you submit your booking request, you will receive a confirmation email from our booking partner in which the price of your booked stay will be specified. In the unlikely event of any discrepancies, you will be able to contact our booking partner or the hotel directly based on the contact information provided in the confirmation email.

Do you offer special discounts (for seniors, airlines employees, etc.)?

We provide the best available rates for the dates of your stay. Discounts are already included and therefore it is not possible to have any other discount on the confirmed price.

Can I use discount vouchers (e.g. issued by magazines, shops, etc.)?

No, not when booking through our website. You would have to book through the organization issuing the voucher in such case.

What are the room prices shown on your website lower than those i have seen on other websites or on the hotel's own site?

Our hotel booking database is a self-service booking system, which, along with the high volume of reservations made, allows us to offer very competitive pricing.

Credit Cards and Payments

Why are my credit card details needed?

In general, your credit card details are only required as a guarantee for the hotel in case you don't arrive or cancel too late. This might result in a "no-show" charge (generally the equivalent of a one-night stay) by the hotel. We at Hotels Angel do not have access to your credit card details and will not charge your credit card. Our booking partner will not charge your card either. You will pay for your stay at the hotel.

Does the hotel need a deposit or a payment in advance?

ou will pay for your stay at the hotel. If the hotel requires a deposit, it will be clearly mentioned on the hotel's information pages. Please note that some hotels perform a pre-authorization check on your credit card as an extra guarantee. A pre-authorization is a validity check to reserve a certain amount that would guarantee the room. This amount may correspond to the price of one night or to the total cost of your reservation. Once the credit card has been validated, the reserved amount will be released.

What types of credit cards can I use to guarantee the reservation?

MasterCard, Visa and American Express are accepted as a guarantee. However, it is possible that the hotel does not accept all of these cards for payment. Please check the "Accepted credit cards" section on the hotel's "How to Book" page.

How do I pay the hotel bill?

You pay the room bill in cash or by credit card at the hotel.

Can I pay for my stay in advance?

Such arrangements depend on each hotel's policy. Therefore, you will need to contact the hotel directly. The hotel's contact details can be found in the confirmation email you will receive after you make your reservation.

Can I pay for my stay at the hotel with a different credit card than the one used to guarantee the reservation?

Yes. Your credit card details are only needed for guarantee purposes. You can pay at the hotel using the payment method of your choice.

My credit card has been charged. How can I get a refund?

Neither Hotels Angel, nor our booking partner ever charges our guests' credit cards. The charge has been performed by the hotel. Therefore, you will need to contact the hotel directly. The hotel's contact information can be found in your reservation confirmation email.

I do not have a credit card. Can I still book a room?

Unfortunately all hotels require a credit card to guarantee a reservation. We are not able to process any reservation without a credit card.

Is it safe to fill in my credit card number? How secure is your website?

Your credit card information is sent to the hotel and our booking partner through a secure server, using the latest, most secure technology available, which encrypts all your personal and credit card details. The encryption method used is the industry standard "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) technology. The SSL certificate has been issued by Thawte.
Our booking partner also uses a firewall which protects their servers and network against unauthorized access.

Reservation Process

Can you check availability and make a reservation for me?

We advise you to print it out. Within a couple of minutes, you will receive a confirmation email containing more information such as the hotel's contact details.

Can I book a hotel room by telephone or email?

Unfortunately, we do not take bookings by telephone or email.

I have booked a hotel but I did not receive a confirmation by email. What do I have to do?

When you make a booking, please check your email address. A confirmation email should arrive within a couple of minutes of your booking. The most common reason for not getting a confirmation email is typing your email address incorrectly. Therefore, please double check your email address and make sure your mailbox is not full before finalizing your reservation. Also, in some cases (e.g. if your spam filter settings are too strict) the confirmation email may end up in your "Spam" folder. If you do not receive an email after you have made a booking, please send a message with your booking number and details by using our contact form.
