Would be great if it actually said STANSTEAD IN HEADING .You know just for all of us that are having a quick look through Hukd on our breaks etc.

Then don't browse until you are home and have longer than a 5 minute break?

People so lazy these days, want to be spoon fed.

In modern society we pander to the lazy and the stupid far too much.

If you have the time to post comments then you have the time to filter the pertinent details from the post!

Would be great if it actually said STANSTEAD IN HEADING .You know just for all of us that are having a quick look through Hukd on our breaks etc.

Can i ask if the discount shown in the screenshots, applies to all of us? I am really interested in this trip! Anyone want to come with? :sunglasses:

heat, great trip <3

A dirty weekend near the Vatican. I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere. Good deal.

Posted the comment when I left work!But hey, thanks for telling me what I have the time to do in work!

Oh! How blessed we our to have a philosopher in our midst.Ever thought that some people actually work in jobs that mean a five minute break is just that a five minute break?

Then don't browse until you are home and have longer than a 5 minute break?

Just back from Rome .. All the churches are free to get into including pantheon and the forum splendid from outside admission area if were going on a shoe string.

What an absolute ****.

People moaning (and liking a post) about this deal not including from Stanstead in the header..

You can only fit a certain amount of characters in the field provided, which detail would you prefer the op to leave out, dates or where to?

I dare say if airport location could have been squeezed in someone would have moaned flight times should have been in the heading too.

I think you will find it is actually Stansted, no A at the end!

So when you posted, plenty of time to have read the deal and figured out where it was from, therefore, no need for your post :smile:

*From Stansted* seems to be quite clear to me ! :laughing:

Don't forget the city tax at the hotel, 6 euros per person, per night

He said "That's the worst haircut I've ever seen".

I have stayed at the Pinewood - lovely family run hotel.
However, it is not near the Vatican.

I never know the best time to book flights, did the exact same flights as listed by OP on ryanair last night and they were £90, did them this morning and they are £60

Yeah not writing a eight letter word in a post probably would be classed as the height of laziness
Btw I think I can do whatever I want on my break.

Can't come with, but I have stayed at the Pinewood and you won't be disappointed.
It's not that close to the centre, but getting around is not a problem.

Sounds like you fit into both categories I described.

I've now amended the title to include Stansted. The screen shots were visible with the airport but where I can I will try and include the airport into the title. I try and avoid putting too much text in there but given the amount of debate it has created I'll include it in future!!

Good gracious, have we ran out of words of wisdom now?

Here is a good one for you:

'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt.'

No problem. You have to understand sometimes it's difficult to work out which bits to include in the title. Look what happened on this post here and that's without mentioning dates! I always put in screen shots but trying to include everything in title can sometimes be hard! I should have also said where the deal is eg Venere/Ryanair as per the HUKD guidelines but I can't fit that into the title!

Yes that's extremely good advice.Here's hoping you start thinking of it before you comment.

Additional fees charged by the hotel €54.83
"A local tax of £42.55 (€54.83) will be collected by the hotel either at check-in or check-out."

Hotel gone up a few quid now. Yes city tax/tourist tax is common in Europe and I know we paid it in Milan too. It's something tourists have to pay.

Worth noting that the Stansted Express train is £44 return for 2 people from Liverpool Street in London. Which is costly, relative to the price of the holiday, in case money is an absolute factor and you didn't want to drive.

Not a negative, but worth bearing in mind.

good deal

Rome is a beautiful place, however we visited earlier this month and never have I been so scared. There was a news reporting on this last week. Rome is currently full of refugees and it is a massive issue, they are sleeping on the streets every night a lot of them have turned to prostitution but a lot of them have turned to crime. In my 5 days in Rome on two occasions a homeless person tried to take my bag, they are so desperate they will do anything to get food and drink. At night there are thousands of them living in door ways under cardboard boxes.

May i suggest Eugenics as a possible solution

In which case it should be included in the total price.

Glad you've joined hukd.Hope to see a few comments on deals rather than quotes in the future.

Megone I think you well and truly lost that one, consider yourself well and truly chastised.

This deal has just got sweeter.. :smiley:

Was getting surrounded by 20 odd Roman 'street children' and getting your pockets emptied the second you walked out of Termini(the main station) a quarter of a century ago so can just imagine how much things have 'improved' since then :laughing:

Then again the Vatican was built on plundered riches and child abuse so what do you expect from that manor?




At least you got Lazio there which gives that gaff a wee touch of respectability I suppose :sunglasses: Avanti ragazzi di Buda

Just spent a few days in Rome, fantastic place and didn't have any trouble from rough sleepers. Would point out that does cost a lot to get from Airport to centre of Rome - 48 Euro's each way for a taxi and public transport not much cheaper.

Great city although I would advise to stay nearer the centre. Rome is a very compact city and you can pretty much cover all the tourist attractions on foot, can highly recomend Residenza Zanardelli whihc is just off Piazza Navonna and very reasonably priced for a prime location.

We used a company called terravision for our transfers booked in advance I believe they cost €8 return each

The location of the hotel is noted as "Strategically located only 5 minutes walking distance away from the Cornelia subway station and bus terminal".

So, you could get a shuttle into the Termini with say Terravision and from there its literally a few minutes on the metro to Cornelia at a cost of less than £1. Easy!

Depends on dates I guess, we only paid around €65 a night, that's some mark up!

Wow, yeah that is a lot less!!! Perhaps it's weekends flights and hotels always more expensive then.

We were in Rome last week, absolutely no problems with refugees. There were people sleeping in the street but no more than any large city. We paid 4euros a night per person city tax, not 6 euros.

How on earth do you work that one out?This ones for you
"You even called me stupid in your verse,and i'm almost agreeing for where stupidity is involved , you are quite an expert,friend"Have a great evening. xx

What verse and what stupid, I think you ought to make sure you are replying to the right person. Plus upper case for i when referring to yourself. Oh my God how you keep dropping yourself in the mire.

Stansted at one end the Vatican at the other, I think I'll give this a miss. Any deals for Amsterdam form somewhere else? LOL.

Thanks OP - booked earlier this evening. I certainly appreciate the deal.

I cannot believe the amount of crap generated from this post. The OP has kindly provided this deal and people are nit picking over silly things. The details of the deal were clearly posted in the deal post and the screenshots. I personally feel that if people don't have the mental capacity to read two posts and digest the information provided, they really shouldn't be allowed to have a passport for not only their own safety, but the safety of others.

Thought you were agreeing to the op's post "In modern society we pander to the lazy and "stupid" far to much "you know when you pointed out how you thought I'd been,what was it ? Oh yeah well and truly chastised.

I saw the deal minutes after it was posted and despite the departing airport not being listed in the title, I managed to get all the information from the deal post and the screenshots. It's not rocket science to read all the information supplied and make an informed decision. The deal title is there to give you a brief overview of what the deal is, not to fit the whole description in. "3 Nights in Rome including 4* Hotel and Flights - 22-25 April" would have been sufficient, as the description and screenshots contain all the info required, but the OP went above and beyond and supplied extra info.





Thanks - I'm really looking forward to it. Italy has been on my bucket list for a while now, so this is the perfect opportunity to tick it off.

You are an absolute cancer to this deal!!! I'm trying to read more from helpful posts but you keep popping up again and again with nothing positive to contribute! I work 12hr shifts and am thankful the OP posted this (magically just at the right time). I have no issues finding a few mins to find out further details. You are exactly what's wrong with society nowadays (zero patience and doesn't know when to quit whining like an 4 year old). How about you do everyone a favour and clear off!

Should we be so lucky?

Ever thought OP might have been on HIS break and didn't have enough time to proof read his message to make sure every scrap of detail every single person could want is included?
He just decided to go out of his way in his own time to help others and make them aware of the deal. Whereas you come on here moaning that he didn't present it exactly how you want it to be. How about you thank him for the deal instead of being a whiny little girl.

noooooooo discount cie AFFQ1F223 expired?

A good find,well done thanks for posting.

Thanks OP booked last night - ended up booking a different, slightly cheaper hotel that may be of use to some on here. Worked out at £93.50 for 2 people total with discount code FEB8TR

http://www.otel.com/hotels/cervara_park_hotel_rome.htm

I cant seem to find the same prices for the flights as they seem to hike up to £169 per head. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

voucher expired

missed it by a day damn :disappointed:

I'm a she!

needs to be expired as price is no longer valid due to discount code being out of date

Take peoples point about getting a train being cheaper, but not if you have 2 teenage kids in tow. Rome has 2 airports, both have fixed taxi fares, 32 Euros for the closer one, Ciampino and 48 Euros for the other, Fiumicino. Train fares also more expensive for Fiumicino at 11 Euros one way each. So taxis not just for the tourist fodder!

Ever thought where you're flying from is pretty important actually vitally important to many people.Maybe you should wake up and realise that rachelandgromit posts travel deals.So maybe this is her job?

Oh Yes,Like in I've just seen a deal for a 1400w vacuum cleaner with 200 accessories and a 10 metre lead and 5 spare bags for £5. ....Oh I'm not going to bother telling you in my post where to get the deal you'll have to click on the deal and go to the second screenshot for that info.Really?Think you're departure airport is pretty important.

Should we be so lucky?[/quote
"Should we be so lucky" ummm Is this English SoliderBOY?

I'm glad you can find the time in work to open every deal to find the pertinent details like WHERE THE DEPARURE AIRPORT IS.
I really have to commend you though as in every reply to my posts i've been called "lazy,stupid and of course the ultimate insult "a whiny little girl" because as we all know little boys don't whine.
You though,well you've been original in you're insults if nothing else
"You are an absolute cancer to this deal" a disease I've survived but hey let's use the c word if we can't find another disparaging word.
"You are exactly what's wrong with society nowadays(zero patience and doesn't know when to quit whining like a 4 year old) In other words let all and sundry insult you but don't respond to any of their comments.I still can't work out your zero patience statement unless you think if you stare patiently at the OP it will miraculously bring up the departure airport.
Finally we have the comment I last remember being yelled out when I was 9 years old and desperately wanted to play dollies with the IN crowd in primary school "How about you do everyone a favour and clear off"
Bravo!!! Daves_mate. You've succeeded in being a bigger d**k than the rest of the op's combined.x

Hello pumpkin. Hope you have a good day at school today (looks like you were up way past your bedtime last night messing around on your parents computer again). Enjoy playing with your imaginary friends during playtime. Can't wait to hear about all your latest made up stories from the land of IAMANONCEANDALOSER. :neutral_face:

Hahaha my apologies! :P

Oooh! I'm a nonce and a loser now am I.Once again your ability to write complex and adult sentences fills me with wonder.Have you looked into evening classes to help with your lack of English Language skills?Though from the comments you've made above I do wonder if maybe remedial classes in the school you now attend may be your best option.

First of all I did not make that quote you replied to and how you got my name on it I have no idea.
Secondly my name is not SoliderBOY. Learn to use a key board MEGANONE.

Funny you didn't make the quote even though your name's clearly on it SoldierBOY(No mistake)
Sorry have just realised are you insinuating that I somehow replied to a comment made by Daves_mate using your username?
If so the moderators on this site clearly need to investigate this,as I would have no idea how to do this.
If you didn't post the comment "Should we be so lucky" who did?

I've taken a screenshot of the comment if you need this investigated further.

Is this the Bertie Smalls thread? :smirk:

Lmao :smile:

The comment on #90 that you replied to but somehow had mine name on reads " You are an absolute cancer to this deal!!! " etc. so perhaps you can explain???????????????????

Did you post the comment "Should we be so lucky"? (Am not adding 20 question marks as i'm an adult not a four year old)
