Having said that... there are a couple of places down Zeedijk where you probably will have tried it!
Na man it may have raised its game by now,Just been checking the reviews on the place i stay & you know the ones that are BS & the ones that are real,Lol its funny when you know the people the reviews are talking about
.I've been emailing them daily and just re-sent another one, we'll see I suppose.DaveS wrote:I'd drop 'em another email Fenix...
Maybe something happened to their emails, or.. well, I have no idea really... I'm just trying to think...
I sent them a message yesterday to change my dates from 21-24 April to 22-24 April, as soon as I knew what flight I had rebooked, and had a reply first from booking.com 20 minutes later, then one from Vijaya itself, confirming receipt of the email and the change to my booking 9 minutes after that.
Dunno mate - they've always been good as gold with me - perhaps their mailbox was full from all the change requests over the last few days and it got bounced back or something? Try them again fella, that's all I can suggest - I don't know myself if I'm going to be charged for the day I'm missing - the updated booking info reads;
They might charge the extra €60 to my card, or ask for it there - if they say nothing, I will gladly pay the reduced amount and spend the difference on a truly determined effort to harm my brain cells in Basjoes...Single Room for guest *****
Arrival 2010-04-22 (was 2010-04-21)
price 125 (was 185)
Comments Guest cannot arrive until 2010-04-22 due to flight cancellations. (was unspecified)
Hah - steep staircases! Nearly 10 yrs ago I came over with a group of people who had never been before but had always wanted to... At the airport, one of them turned up at check-in with a trunk
After I had finished rolling around on the floor pissing meself at the prospect of Amsterdam hotel vs "trunk from hell", I was waiting for the first realisation of what was about to happen when we checked in to Hotel Beursstraat and found his room was on the top floor!
I still smile about it now...
Unless your hotel is brand new, and probably out of the centrum, or you're paying a lot of €'s for those 4 and 5 star places - prepare to climb narrow, steep stairs, folks! You're in Amsterdam and all these narrow, tall little canalside houses that help make the place look so picturesque also help make your leg muscles work for their stay!!!
Give 'em another go fella - did you book with them direct or through a booking agent? I went through booking.com, linked via this site - if so, they should be able to sort you out...
Hope you get it sorted!
I booked directly through them the first time and am trying to do so again in order to possibly avoid having to pay any cancellation fees. I did see the available room on Booking.com though so worse case scenario, I can book through them if I still don't get a response from Vijaya.
I have a few fallback options last I checked but would LOVE to stay at Vijaya mainly because they have ensuite bathrooms. That's one luxury I'd like, 1 star 'telly or not.
Before anything, get the daily dose of choke.....
