Want to end your year with a bang? Get ready for an incredible deal on hotels next week – be prepared with our guide!

EDIT (17/12/18): This deal has now expired.

Student Holiday Plans always tries to find deals that allow you time and ease for planning a holiday. However, some deals are so spontaneous that we, and you, simply don’t have time to strategise! This deal in particular is not a travel deal involving flights, but a deal on accommodation that seriously is too good to turn down.

Expedia are offering 90% on selected hotels for travel between the 17th December and 5th January (inclusive). Sounds too good to be true? It really isn’t! The offer goes live at 9am on the morning of Monday 17th – any purchase has to be via the Expedia app (found here for iOS and here for Android), and the promotion code ‘HITRESET’ has to be entered on the payment page – that’s it! The code is limited – this deal recently ran on the American Expedia site, and all codes were used within the first few hours of release, so you’ll have to be on the ball if you want to get the best deal! If you miss out, the code will still get you 20% off of your hotel. If you want to check the terms and conditions further or learn more, read all about Expedia’s deal here.

Now this might be a bit too last-minute to be travelling abroad, but this deal could still be used for a New Year’s Eve out, or visiting family and friends over the Christmas break.



We’ve got some top tips for making sure you don’t miss out on this incredible deal:

Make sure you’ve created an account with Expedia that has a credit or debit card, or PayPal account, attached before the start of the sale. This will save time when you pay – all you have to enter is your card’s security code.

Always select the ‘Free Cancellation’ option presented. Even if you’re sure you’ll be able to stay in your hotel on your selected nights, you have the freedom to change your mind and get your money back for what would only be maybe only a few pence more than losing out.

Most importantly, this deal can only be redeemed on the app – don’t miss out by finding a great hotel on the web only to not be able to recover the deal!

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, we have found a few fabulous flight routes that would be great for a short holiday break, and leave your total travel spend at a minimum.

Everyone knows that Dublin is a wonderful city all year round. From having a pint of Guinness in one of the city’s unique pubs to snapping a picture with some of Dublin’s gorgeous architecture, Ireland’s capital is one of the best places to go for a festive break. Don’t miss out on seeing the unmissable Spire in the centre – at 120 metres tall, you won’t miss it!

If you want to get away from city life, you can visit Limoges in the West of France for next to nothing either just before or after the New Year. As well as the ubiquitous Christmas market that can be found all across Europe at this time, Limoges is also home to some glorious Gothic architecture that beautifully juxtaposes the little traditional alleyways, such as the ‘Rue de la Boucherie’. Something that you’ll love to share with your uni friends is your time in ‘Escrocs’, a café specialising in variations of ‘croque’ (grilled cheese) sandwiches!
