40€ credit from NH Hotels - for stays until 31 March 2014


We have already booked a week-end night in March at the NH Bologna Villanova****, for which at check-out we will pay 35€, breakfast included (that is 75€ the room rate minus the 40€ credit). The same room would cost the full 75€ when using booking.com, for example.

Free nights at Holiday Inn in Berlin, Germany

This is to be obtained using the Best Rate Guarantee of InterContinental Hotels (the group which includes the Holiday Inn brand).

We have already wrote a detailed article on how the Best Rate Guarantee works, see link below:

Best Rate Guarantee from Holiday Inn hotels

The value added of this post is that we found a website that usually provides lower rates for Holiday Inn Berlin City East.

This website is called Grand City Hotels, which is a hotel management company, managing over 100 hotels in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Cyprus and Spain.

Follow these three simple steps:
_________________________

1. Make a flexible reservation at Holiday Inn Berlin City East  (click on the hotel name to make the booking).

We underline the importance of making a refundable reservation on the Holiday Inn website, to avoid the risk that the Best Rate Guarantee does not work.

2. Check the rates on Grand City Hotels website, to make sure that they are lower than those from Holiday Inn website. Do not make any reservation with Grand City Hotels, only note down the rate, as you need it in step 3 below.

3. Fill in the online Best Rate Guarantee form:

Online form for claiming the IHG Best Price Guarantee

You should get a reply from a Holiday Inn representative within maximum 3 business days.
_________________________

If the claim is not approved for any reason, you may very easily cancel the reservation (as in step 1 above you made a flexible reservation).

For example, one night (8 March 2014) for a standard room, breakfast included, has a price of 125€ when booked directly on Holiday Inn Berlin City East website. However, Grand City Hotels offers the exactly same room at 116€, allowing you to make the claim from step 3 above.

Let us know how this worked for you.
