Most Hotels Would not Admit That

It may not be clear to customers, but most things that hotels offer these days are not a subject to further reduction, additional extra services, like they claim in advertisements and brochures. Let's learn to tell real offers from marketing strategies.

With the help of hotels in Paddington we managed to make a list of the basic practices in some hotels that are a common occurrence in times of financial difficulties. 

Unexpected discounts – this is a myth. Most hotels could not afford lowering their prices further. There are many free services that you can get for your money so take advantage of free parking, all the meals and booking in advance.
Booking via an Agency – travel agencies are a good option when you want a package tour. But in case you need a room in a certain hotel it is smarter to book it in advance by using the official site of the hotel. Most agencies work on commission and charge extra. 

Local tourists are valuable – it depends. In the case of Paddington hotels it is true that local clients are having another accommodation in London, and they spend mostly a weekend or two in a certain hotel in order to change the scenery and to relax. 

Promotions – regarding the harsh competition, discounts are made on regular basis. But in order to have the up-to-date prices you can simply follow a chosen hotel on Twitter or Facebook. The latest price cuts will be announced there faster.
