Upon arrival I was told my double room that I had booked and paid for had been given away to someone else, and that I had to take the only available room which was a single.
Apparently my room was given to someone else of the same first name. My first name is not common. In any case, any reputable hotel checks all personal information when checking in guests. Also, if our reservations were mixed up, it would have been extremely easy to see we booked different types of rooms (single and double). Blatant lies covering up for overbooking and reallocating me a single because I was alone.
When I asked for the difference in price back between the double I had booked and the single I was given, I was first offerred "sincere apologies". Which I declined. Then I was given £5 and told to buy a pint on them, as if they had done me a favour.
Embarassing experience. Dont bother booking with this hotel
