Secondly, we have a prepaid hotel booking at LGW that we are most likely not able to use to reasonable state.

Luckily our connecting flight from LHR leaves at 8.40 tomorrow so we are not really in a rush but I guess EU261 is already breached and it remains to see whether the plane can actually fly back today.

Does the EU-compensation cover the hotel costs or should I reimburse it as well.
