However, the information and prices shown may have changed by the time you come to book as, regrettably, errors do occur.

Does Aathitya Travels charge me for the reservation service?
No. Aathitya Travels does not charge you for making a booking through this site.

What are Rack Rates?
Rack Rate is the rate a hotel would offer you if you approached them directly. Almost all accommodation providers offer a special Internet rate for rooms booked through Aathitya Travels.

What are the Rates in Green ?
We call them our "Cool Rates". "Cool Rates" save you money. Because of the large number of lodging reservations we process, we are able to negotiate special rates with the properties. Booking a room marked as a "Cool Rate" gives you both savings and security. You can't beat that!

Where can I find descriptions of hotel facilities and rooms?
When you select a hotel, click "More hotel info" to display detailed information about the hotel.

What if I have forgotten my confirmation number?
You can contact us by using our support form, mentioning the details of the reservations.

How can I advise the hotel of my preferences regarding room type, view, etc?
When making your booking, please advise us of your preferences in the section marked "Special room requests". We shall forward the request to the hotel. Although we will try to meet your request we are unable to provide you with a guarantee. Occasionally, we receive more requests for a particular room type than we have available in a particular hotel or resort. When this occurs, we honour requests based on availability at check in.

When will my reservation be at the hotel?
Your name will not appear at the hotel until 72 hours before your arrival date. Rest assured, the room is booked; however, the hotel just does not know that you will be the person staying in it.

How do I book a Hot Deal?
Hot Deals are booked from the Hot Deal page. Start by selecting the Hotel/Hot Deal you are interested in and follow the steps to complete the booking.

Can I book more than one Hot Deal?
Of course you can book as many Hot Deals as you like, although you will have to fill out a separate booking form for each Hot Deal.

Can I book more than one room for my Hot Deal?
You can book up to five rooms for any Hot Deal, subject to availability.

Do I receive confirmation of my Hot Deal booking?
When you successfully complete your Hot Deal booking, a booking ID will be generated. We recommend you record this number and the booking details. You will also receive confirmation of your booking via the email address you provided on the booking form. And on receipt of the payments, you shall be sent the hotel vouchers.

Why I am not getting instant confirmations?
The per night charges (including tax) will be provided along with your confirmation number via return e-mail in approximately 24 business hours. Many hotels have yet to develop 'instant online reservation' technology in India, however quite a few people want to stay at these hotels. In such cases the reservation request comes to our staff. We then contact the hotel to find availability at the rate displayed, make a reservation and send an email to the client quoting the final confirmation. At this moment we request you to make the payments for us to issue the hotel vouchers.

I'm looking for a hotel in Mumbai. Can you help me?
Our reservation agents are unable to do individual searches for clients due to our high volume of reservations. Please use the Lodging Search Form to identify availability and rates.

What number do I call to make my reservation?
You only need to call one number to make your reservation. Call +91-141-2226126. Please do not call us for getting telephone numbers of the hotels and hotel information. Use our search options to search for hotels.
