Holidaymakers vent fury over rooms cancelled

IRATE travellers who made hotel reservations through an Irish online booking company yesterday claimed rooms had been cancelled when they arrived at their destination.

Callers to RTÉ’s Liveline Show, who had booked accommodation through 1800hotels.ie, claimed that although they had been charged for their bookings, the reservations had been cancelled.

One man, due to get married today in Malta, said he was horrified to find that his guests’ hotel bookings had fallen through, forcing guests who had paid up front to find and pay for alternative accommodation.
