prince polonia reservation...some doubts

mahemia · May 9th, 2008, 00:10

We're to brothers from Spain. We have been, during some days, sharing emails with the prince polonia administrator, for book 4 nights in July, airport pick up service and some train tickets.

The fact is he's very kind and have told us that everything is confirmed, without ask us for any credit card or money transfer...

It's normal? Someone who have stayed there? Everything worked with no susprises? We don't want to arrive Delhi, after 14 hours flying, at 22h, and find NOTHING...we have no reservation document or credit card ticket..

Thanks for your answers!

Hermanos,

I haven't stayed at Prince Polonia, but a few yeasr ago I booked a hotel and airport pickup with Namaste India Tours, and paid the driver when I arrived, and paid the hotel for one night when I checked in.

Be sure to use the ATM or change some money at the airport so you have cash -- not everyplace takes credit cards!

Don't worry, you don't need to pay in advance, they trust you everything will be fine, i've stayed there for the last 3 or 4 trips. The email add you are using is the best one to contact them on, they tend not to answer the one on their website as fast.

As a rule of thumb not having to pay in advance is a sign that you're dealing with a serious outfit. They are spending time and effort on you, so as long as they don't ask for prepayment, it's a good sign. And btw, even in an established hotel, reservations do not always mean a lot....

Hi Mahemia,

Nice to see more spaniards here in IM.

Prince Polonia is in Pahargang and in this area you'll find at least one hundred hotel/guesthouses open 24 hours a day, so don't worry. Even in the same street I recommend you Cottage Yes Please Hotel.

All the best

Jorge
