I don't believe they let you cancel free of charge at Opodo. It also states that the whole amount will be charged at time of booking.

No sir, this is not for me :-(

Just a word of warning regarding Opodo - I've been thrown out of a hotel on a completely legitimate non-mistake fare with all my posessions locked in the room. And on a pre-paid rate... it's a long story. It took 4 months of complaints, letters, and threats of legal action before anyone even replied to me. Had to write to the CEO before they took notice.

So I would be prepared to find alternative accomodation if you're booking a mistake with them.

It is also available for some dates in July (but quickly disappearing), even though the OP on MSE has already managed to call Opodo.

Just tried to book a room for 6-8 June & it gave the cheap price but would not let me book the room at the conformation of purchase stage. Said there was an error. How did you manage to book this? By calling OPODO?

When I booked I got a couple of errors at times.

I used F5 to refresh the page which seemed to work.

WARNING
OPODO charge £25 for cancellations even if the hotel do not.

I'm trying to get a weekend 21-23 June cancelled...

Managed to get the site to confirm the room for 5 to 8 June inclusive but had to do in two slugs 5 - 7 June & 7-8 June. Wanted another room but no further ones available.

That's what I am saying. This is not worth the risk for me.
