Did you check non-smoking room. I find for many countries, there are no non-smoking rooms. If you ask for one, it will show no availability, despite the hotel being empty!!

Don't pay more than you have to.

It indeed may be full but first uncheck any restrictions when trying to make your web bookings.

BlondeBomber, you were absolutely correct! I never noticed that you could choose non-smoking because the reservation tool did never ask me for it. But I changed my preference in my profile and voila...I can see availability now! Thanks for your tip...although that means no discount for me now...
