Late Booking on Late Rooms 24/10/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to use, can book a hotel within about 15 minutes, great choice of hotels.
Disadvantages The site isn't very attractively designed and rather overloaded with information.

Late Rooms, founded in 1999, is an online hotel booking facility which allows you to search for multiple hotel vacancies in one area at a single time. It covers every country in the developed world including the whole of the EU and all popular holiday resorts too. They pride themselves on offering greatly discounted rooms as no hotel wants to be left with empty rooms and so as time depletes hotels often discount their rooms drastically rather than be faced with empty rooms for the night. Unlike most hotel booking sites Late Rooms actually states that it does not charge a booking fee and so ... more

Fancy a last minute dirty weekend... 01/07/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Great deals, comprehensive information about the accomodation, maps, easy to use
Disadvantages Would like to sort results, would also like to see what price includes

Then this is the site for you! I am about to go on holiday and needed a hotel near Gatwick airport as it is quite a trek, and with an early flight it was easier to stay nearby. I searched the web for hotel deals using most of the hotel/holiday search websites listed on Ciao. I’m not really fussed where I stay, just as long as I could leave my car at the hotel for 2 weeks…..and this was my main problem! Parking charges at most hotels were extortionate! Even B&Bs were charging around £4 a day. Add this to the cost of the hotel and we’re talking about paying at least £100 for ... more

DO YOU HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT BOOKING LATE? 26/02/2003

User recommends the product

Advantages Offer some outstanding rates, efficient booking by phone, get to stay in some cracking hotels at vastly reduced rates
Disadvantages Difficulties in confirming e-mail bookings, search facility only looks for single rooms making multiple bookings difficult, not always the cheapest

I thought it was time this op had something of an update having now used laterooms on several occasions. I do a fair amount travelling with work, and initially much of my accommodation was booked for me. The rest, I rarely found anything more competitively priced than Britannia and Premier Lodge chains. Particularly as a lot of my travel was to Manchester, the home of cheap accommodation providing it doesn’t clash with Man U playing at home, or some other major event. My first encounter with laterooms was after reading a couple of ops here on Ciao and needing overnight accommodation in ... more

Planning ahead with (not so) laterooms 11/07/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages simple process a wealth of information
Disadvantages overly busy design

While looking to see if I could find a better deal for a hotel which may be more reliable with my booking than the Paragon was on my last visit to Birmingham, I decided to check out some of the hotel booking sites offered on the various cashback websites I use. One which appears on all of them was laterooms.com. So navigating to the site via the cashbacksite I am greeted by a fairly busy but easily negotiated home page. The bit which most interested me was the bright orange box on the right with a box for typing your destination, either postcode, town name or local attraction. Below this you ... more

Get the technology right before it's too late 22/11/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages Some very great deals indeed; we have used them.
Disadvantages Not altogether embracing the power of the web. So near - yet so far.

Excuse me a minute. Let me put my hat on. There! That's better. Why, you might well ask, am I putting on a hat to write this review? Is it sexy? No - not really. Is it a back-to-front baseball cap? Please! No! I'm 37! Am I going bald and need to keep my head warm? No - you're wrong there - just greying a bit - well, a lot. NO - you're all totally wrong. I've put my hat on so that I can doff it (I rather like that expression) to the rather entrepreneurial types at www.laterooms.com. They have very, very nearly got it very, very right. With the advent of the internet, we have all become very ... more
