The web site
Another one of the websites that offer a Price Promise, once a customer has booked with them, if they subsequently find the same hotel available at a lower price on the internet, subject to a few reasonable conditions, they will refund the difference. They cater for every budget, from 1 star to 5 star. Their web site offers popular international chains, small boutique hotels, French chateaux and English manor houses to name a few. They individually negotiate with each hotel they sell, to ensure OctopusTravel customers receive great rates and there are no hidden extras: all our rates include taxes and service charges and in most European hotels and include breakfast.

To assist the customer's selection of the hotel best suited to their needs they provide a full list of amenities and an independent report for each hotel. These are written by travel professionals who have personally visited the hotels and they provide an honest and up-to-date appraisal of each property. For most properties we also provide hotel location maps plus interior and exterior photos to avoid any surprises.

They also feature sightseeing tours in over 150 cities and 50 countries worldwide ranging from city sightseeing and dinner cruises in Europe to island hopping in Malaysia, safaris in Africa and helicopter trips in the Grand Canyon.

They have a customer care center which supports their web site with staff on hand to answer questions by telephone and email, thus providing the human interface that even the most confident of web-shoppers appreciate.
