More £10 hotels: berlin, istanbul, malta, cyprus, algarve

So our Algarve hotel sale sold out pretty quickly and in celebration of this we have ANOTHER £10 sale next friday (4th december) at 10am. This time we'll be offering £10 and £15 hotel rooms in Berlin, Cyprus, Malta, Istanbul and more in the Algarve!

There's the Aquasol Holiday Village in Cyprus with a selection of great pools (one indoor and heated - great for the winter!) and the hotel has fantastic sea views - particularly from the restaurant. I'm planning a post-Christmas recovery there - think I will be in need of a bit of chill-out time after the family gathering my great auntie has planned.

I'm also quite tempted by the Istanbul Erboy - somewhere I've not been recently. It's a simple hotel but within walking distance to the main attractions of the city and I fancy a bit of sightseeing followed by a turkish bath. All in the name of a post-Christmas/new year detox!

latest x factor house news!

Today we managed to bump into a few of the X factor stars (by bump into we mean they were leaving their house and we just happened to be passing). They live just up the road from us so it is rather convenient and we are seeing them quite a lot around Golders Green.
Today we saw Olly and Lloyd joining the others to go for their day of choreography in preparation for saturday's show.
It's been fairly quiet recently as they've all been back to their families and home towns but now they're back! They needed their day or two off as they've been working 7 days a week for the past few weeks - can see they could do with a rest! Unfortunately there's a whole water works going on outside their house and it makes peering over the gates a little more tricky (we're going to wear our wellies tomorrow) - hope they're not disturbing the stars from getting their beauty sleep. We're still hoping they'll call upon us to put them up in one of our hotels - nice fluffy pillows, power showers and we'd keep them oh so quiet from the paparazzi and teenage girls that hang around outside the house.
We're off to decide who to vote for this week...we've got too many favourites at the moment.

more x factor

We've been spotting more x factor stars out and about - with Joe out for a jog in the park and Jamie & Danyl taking a break from it all in Starbucks. They've also been getting special treatment in the local Sainsburys and have been seen sneaking out of the back when the crowds of fans get too much!

What with all the controversy going on at the moment around the program, we wonder how they manage to get on with their day to day activities - they just seem to be so busy all the time! Maybe we'll get them to go and try out a few hotels for us so they can disappear for a while or perhaps we'll treat them to a spa treatment in one of our spa hotels. I'm sure they'd appreciate that.

x factor house shenanigans

We've been taking a peek or two into the x - factor house. It's just round the corner from our offices you see and I got a little bit over-excited the first time I found out where it was. It's so close I can just wander there on my lunchbreak.

Today I met the lovely Andy, the security guard who likes a cup of coffee in his HotelConnect mug. He gave me a bit of insider info. Like the fact that Jedward were followed around yesterday in a taxi ALL day by a girl dressed as superwoman. Or the fact that there are 6 bedrooms which are now a little less squashed now there's only 1 group left and there's less fighting over who gets the bunkbeds.

Andy also gets to take the stars out and about - we've spotted them in Sainsburys and Starbucks and even in the local charity shop!

Check out my facebook page where I'll keep updating my findings. Who do we reckon will be out this week? My favourites are Jedward because I like to think they style themselves a little on me. Good taste boys!
