Scam or great deal?

July 25, 2006 5:50 AM

Is this a legit hotel booking site? Does anyone have any experience with hotelsireland.com, good or bad? I found a too good to be true rate for a hotel in Ireland (Trim Castle Hotel) that's about half the normal rate, but want to know I'm not going to be scammed when I give them money. Googling around isn't yielding anything in the way of reviews for this site. Thanks!

I don't know them, but in the past when I've had doubts along those lines I've called the hotel's reservations dept or even front desk and asked do they deal with xyz.com

I checked out the phonebook here for the company name and they are listed so I'd say it's probably all above board.

And their affiliations all seem to be legit (at least the ITOA one anyway)
