JOE’s world-renowned late deals are back to make sure your weekend or week ahead is as cheap as chips and twice as satisfying. This week we’re looking at cheap hotels in Ireland and the UK, one-week stints in Turkey or Italy and some cracking long-haul deals.
Secret Hotels
www.lastminute.ie are running their famous ‘Secret Hotels’ offer again this week. The deal is they will hook you up with a stay in a four or five star hotel in Dublin or in any number of UK cities for a knock-down price. The catch is, the hotels don’t want it known that they are practically giving some rooms away while charging others top dollar. But although you don’t get to know the name of the hotel you will be staying in until you’ve booked, you can rest assured it will be a swanky little number. Click here for more information.
Cheap city hotels around Ireland
People come from all over the world to visit our island. The new-found poverty and inability to travel abroad many of us are now dealing with is an opportunity to get a slice of that action. www.lastminute.ie have also put together a string of price reductions on hotel stays in Cork, Galway and Limerick. You’re looking at the likes of a 30% off deal on stay in the four star Absolute in Limerick and the three star Issacs Hotel in Cork. Click here for more information.
A week in Italy
We’ve another attractive non-city Italian break for you this week, although if you’re involved in criminality of any kind you might want to skip it. Lake Garda or Lago di Garda is the most popular of Italy’s northern lakes. However, it’s still reasonably quiet and is plonked in a beautiful natural setting. You can get yourself seven nights, flights and accommodation, from €459. Click here for more information.
Seven nights in Turkey from €248
Finally, our friends at LateDeals.ie have some fantastic last-minute summer deals on offer, the pick of the bunch being ultra-cheap seven-night stays in Turkey.
