Not a superb list, but will save me over 1k on some already booked hotels in ASU. My PC account is emptied.

Lucky me.. Just booked in HI Budapest for this weekend ( was planning to use A-club vouchers earlier) but this seems better

Also booked CP Venice for 5 days in September

Anyone has info whether these hotel charge any taxes separately or are those also included in the points and we dont need to pay anything separately ?? Hungary has quite high taxes ( of abt 21%) and hence wanted to know..

Request advise.

thanks
Abhi

you are aware that HI Budapest is far from the centre?
I believe CP Venice is in the outskirts as well

The Australia/New Zealand showing is even more pitiful.

Pitiful.

Shameful.

There are so many IHG properties in the region, can't they do better?

Yes, it's not at all in Venice. However it is right next to a train station that will get you into Venice quickly. I have stayed there a few times. There is a thread here on this hotel if you are interested.

I've booked 2 four night PB stays. If it wasn't for the publicity the hotel received from the 1 cent mistake rate, I probably wouldn't have considered booking so far off the island. Hopefully it will now be rewarded with some extra revenue (from cheap PointsBreakers )

What you mention is a reason why I am considering booking this property too.

By the way, 5,000 points per night or 25,000 points per night for the very same stay, the property gets paid the same by ICHG.

At the time you posted, I had the same problem. I've just checked, and found it now at 5K.
