I booked 2 rooms at OYO Bristol on 25/06 for 6th August. I arrived with my husband and 2 children at OYO Bristol on Friday 6th August at 4pm. We had drove for 2 1/2 hours to get there for an event which we had tickets for starting at 6pm. This resulted in distress, disappointment and frustration for my family.
On check in the receptionist told us that the boiler had broken down the night before and we were unable to stay. There was no alternative arrangements made for our stay and no assistance offered.
The receptionist said that Central office should have contacted us, however we received no contact at all. I find it appalling that we were not notified of this issue when the hotel were aware - this would have given us time to either cancel the event tickets / find alternative accommodation / allow more time to travel.
With short notice we were unable to find local accommodation and had to stay at a hotel costing £420. The distance also meant that we were unable to walk to our event and had to catch taxis which incurred extra cost of £20.
You have offered to reimburse the cost of the room, however this is totally unacceptable. I expect the extra costs of £240 to be met at the very least. if I have to escalate further I shall seek extra compensation. I am not interested in who is at fault - OYO as the company should take responsibility for your dreadful customer services.
