I found a new place to check hotel prices at - they are called hotelscombined. It's a price comparison site that pulls prices in from many different providers including Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Lastminute, Travelocity etc. They state: Not saying it will provide a better deal than you may find elsewhere (it doesn't include Alpharooms for example) but worth a click when price hunting for your trip. The link below will take you direct to their Temptation page, just put in your dates, click search and see what is on offer: Price Comparison Site for Temptation
phew it just quoted me exactly double the price i paid with alpharooms for a single 27th nov to 11th dec.. xx
