I tried to get the same rate in the CIty Inn for Calv and myself yesterday, but the best available for the nights of 15th and 16th was £153 per room per night.

We now have booked for £93 per night at the Novotel, Euston Rd (where Kneehighs and Heeluis booked for the same event last year). As I understand, this used to be the Ibis, but has since changed.

This hotel mullarkey can be a real pain in the a..se trying to negotiate the minefield of wildly varying quotes for exactly the same room. For those of you coming from abroad, check that the prices you are quoted include all taxes, especially the universally-hated additional 17.5% Eurobollocks tax (aka VAT).

Glad you were able to locate a hotel that works. Yes, could not agree with you more, the "hotel muck" is not an easy minefield to negotiate through.
Can't wait to chat, 5 weeks away!!

Thanks for the update.

I double checked my reservation and it includes tax and breakfast, so we're good to go.
