‘Secret hotel’ booked on Lastminute.com was anything but four-star

We took advantage of its ‘top secret hotels’ service, but the Memphis Hotel Museum Square in Amsterdam is undergoing a major renovation

I booked a four-star hotel in Amsterdam using Lastminute.com’s Top Secret Hotels service – taking the risk of blind booking in return for a discount.

When we received confirmation we would be staying at the Memphis Hotel Museum Square, Amsterdam, we checked its website and discovered it was undergoing a major renovation.
