From Head For Points
You can stack this offer and make the room better value:
As these are low value stays, anyone without an existing Accor balance might find ‘triple Avios’ better – as long as you are staying before 30th June. You are unlikely, even with these two promos, to reach the 2,000 Accor points needed to trigger a €40 Accor voucher.

He must be very light. And to be fair if he was invisible he would also have to be naked.....

Is this valid for all the listed hotels on any dates between now and January? I'm looking for hotels in Birmingham for Saturday 8th July.

This might be a stupid question, but how do you actually find and book these rooms? I tried the Novotel website (for Edinburgh city centre) and I'm getting prices of ~£250. Is there a way to find the available dates for the offer or a way you have to go to activate this deal? :smiley:

Not a stupid question. The promotion page is useless. No links seem to work. Really struggling with this deal.

I'm staying in Brixton on a Thursday night in October for a wedding, does anybody know which, if any would be within half hour of Brixton? Thanks

Novotel say Waterloo is the closest hotel - about 15 mins on the underground, about 30 mins on the bus

It is totally pants the lack of info but I guess they are hoping to pull everyone in with the secrecy.

I wouldn't stay in the is place for free the both times I have stayed here they have taken the money out twice,and you have to wait a few days to get your money back,so a word of advice check what,s been taken out of your bank before you leave.

I tried 10 different hotels on both weekends & weekdays. Every month until January 2018. Preposterous prices quoted. That's when the site didn't crash and had to input my details yet again. So much for a promotion. Put me off if anything. Big up yourselves Novotel. Happy 50th Birthday.

Anyone who got the the deal for new Canary Wharf Novotel well done. It's their stunning new concept hotel. Incredible rooftop restaurant and bars. Amazing views of London. Great facilities. Although they quoted me £690 cheapest price for November. Not the £50 I hoped. :smile:

You can book using their app. Use promo code NOV50. Managed to get an August midweek night in London in a superior room. Don't give up!

15 Jun 17#62
Exactly the same happened to me for my booking in London. Call the hotel reservations line shown on your booking email and query it, give them your reservation number too as per the email. They confirmed there was an issue with their systems which has meant payment has not been made, however the booking was there on the system (note that they could find it by my name, only by reservation number). They took payment over the phone and sent me a confirmation email as requested.
Good Luck!!!

They have actually contacted me directly to fix the mistake and everything is now sorted.
I'm very pleased and much more inclined to consider them in the future..

Shame about the website. It was a real pain to use. Found that the special offer was not working using Crome and also defaulted to 1 Adult for a room booking with no apparent way of changing it . I would have booked it with one adult but wanted to add the breakfast web special which would have been difficult after the booking was complete.

You can stack this offer and make the room better value:
Offer 1 – http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/leclub/hotels-offers/promotion-49393-promotion.shtml?xtor=AL-40 – gets you 500 bonus Accor points on your first UK Accor stay after registering and 1,000 extra Accor points on your 2nd UK Accor stay
You then need to choose between:
Offer 2a – ‘triple Avios’ on every stay http://www.accorhotels.com/leclub/sweetpillowsworldtour/iberia/index.en.shtml?xtor=AL-40 if you are staying before 30th June
or
Offer 2b – ‘triple or quadruple Accor points’ on every stay http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/leclub/hotels-offers/promotion-49720-promotion.shtml?xtor=AL-40 if you are staying before 3rd September
As these are low value stays, anyone without an existing Accor balance might find ‘triple Avios’ better – as long as you are staying before 30th June. You are unlikely, even with these two promos, to reach the 2,000 Accor points needed to trigger a €40 Accor voucher.
