    €10 Hotel rooms in Dublin being sold tomorrow morning at 10am.

    Got this the last time and ended up in the Clarion in Limerick city, fantastic hotel. Felt a bit guilty for only paying a tenner, especially when we ended up with free room service! :p

    Linky. Might want to use Internet Explorer as other browsers seems to send the site FUBAR.

    The sale starts at 10am tomorrow, when participating hotels will be shown.


    I got this offer a few months ago, it did as it said on the tin. Don't be fussy, take whatever dates you can get, they go in seconds, and enjoy.

    I availed of this last time around and got a night in 4 star Clarion Cork for €10. The following morning I went to pay €8 for the overnight parking, gave the girl at the desk a tenner and she gave me back €42 which I accepted... I feel so guilty now :o I'll probably be trampled by an elephant at some point in karma retribution.

    Just four hotels in Dublin, the Royal Marine being the best of them. Not great.

    Also, hate to be a pedantic f*cker, but it says in the T&Cs 10:00 GMT. Which it won't be for another hour. We are in BST at the moment.

    No joy here. Ridiculously slow as well.

    It also boots you back to a generic booking page rather than telling you that there are no rooms left. Very annoying.

    Stupid offer :( Won't let me book for the kids, even if I was to just bring the newborn, for whom I'd be bringing my own travel cot. Oh to be young, free and single again...

    did anyone manage to get a room at the weekend? fri or sat nights?
    every single one i tried it said it was not available,

    only rooms i could get were during the week but no interest in that.
    bit of a sham.

    In terms of PR, I think they have done more harm than good with this offer.

    Agreed

    If my search was unsucessful they could of least built in a page that said something like..... "we have nothing for this date - try again" Instead I was just brought onto a generic landing page for UK hotels?

    or better still, a page showing the dates that have availability, like on aerlingus for example.

    I think I tried every hotel on every date available and kept getting that the room was available, hit continue and then it would say not available or it would throw me to a generic page. Ridiculous offer

    What prats. Myself and the girlfriend have been trying to book a room for any day since 10am on seperate computers - not 1 was available.

    Poor show. They couldn't have sold out everything in the first minute unless there were only 4 rooms in each hotel!

    Same here. We had our heart set on the 9th May, it's not to happen now.

    Honestly, I'm raging. Might write off an email to the folks at lastminute.ie.

    I managed to book the Royal Marine for a Friday night in June for a tenner.

    I booked a room in the Royal Marine in July for a tenner - just got a confirmation.

    Couldn't book 2 rooms and couldn't add kids though. Tried to go back for a second room and they were all sold out ( by about 10:14 ).

    Hi Guys,

    Barry from lastminute.com here.

    Sorry to hear that some boardsies have had difficulty booking, we had huge interest in our €10 Hotel WIGIG (when it's gone, it's gone) this morning which sold out really really quickly. (less than 60mins)

    Anyone who has had trouble booking, drop me a Private Message today (April 23rd) with your email address and I'll get a €25 voucher over to you.

    Sorry for any frustration, we sold hundreds of rooms, with tens of thousands of visitors scrambling to get this bargain.

    My annoyance was that I could almost book a room many times, only for it to tell me that the room I had selected was now gone.

    probably just like ticketmaster or any hot event...

    servers can't cope with huge demand and website doesn't prepare for it or expect it...

    the frist one or two €10 offers nobody really knew about, these days everyone knows well in advance so we're all on trying to book :p
