Nevs Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) How true Shadders! This is the first time we want to stay,but I aint paying those prices. Couldn't believe it was two nights only and can't book for just one! Wouldn't have paid £175 for one night anyway!

rhidassa Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Just prov booked room for Fri/Sat night through laterooms... Left it a bit late! Not had confirmation yet but its rather expensive.. Booked a decent hotel since its the same price as the 'cheap' ones! Plus booking through that site I can cancel if I change my mind, or find summat better... All sorted.

Don't hold your breath - I too thought I'd booked a reasonably priced 3 bedroom apartment through laterooms (also with option to cancel) a fortnight ago. When I hadn't received confirmation after a week I contacted them with the booking enquiry number I'd been given only to find that I hadn't got a booking after all - the apartments hadn't actually released the rooms for next year or even decided on a price! I'm afraid your booking enquiry may prove worthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhidassa Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yep already had that, so made another one.. Will keep on making 'em til it pays off, as determined not to spend ridiculous amounts on a hotel, but at the same time not sure on transport so need to be within reasonable distance.. Argh!

Can you recommend somewhere that is not too ''ridiculous'' hotel wise as I have had no joy!! Trying to book into a local caravan park but that's chocka with a waiting list as well Ticket wise I am not bothered as that is easily sorted but having travelled there and back in a day this year I really want to stay over a couple of days -- hopefully not breaking the bank!

rhidassa Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I've just booked through late hotels. I had to 'request' availability, but I now have a room for the two nights. From what I can gather its essentially student accomodation (Victoria Halls) about 20 min walk from the Millenium Stadium. But hey, £70 for a double a night compared to the rest of the prices, and I'm not complaining. If you wanted details of where I booked it, drop me a PM.

rhidassa Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I booked at Marriot but that is rather expensive. Looked at that.. Nice place, great location - but I just begrudge spending that much in one weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your reply --- going to hang on a while to see if I can book in to the caravan site (on the ''waiting list'') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is an alternative to staying over if it's too expensive - go on one of the coaches that all the tracks run to Cardiff. That's what I do now.

That's what I do now. I've done that before. Depending on where you're located, it can be a long journey, and too much for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do now.I could be home just after midnight after the GP if I drove back, but would have to stay off the booze all day Saturday ..... For me half the fun of GP weekend is the socializing before and after the meeting ..... It's a bit of a rush to get back for the Sunday afternoon meeting at Rye though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
