Dear Hotelioni Guests,

from economical reasons in Warsaw and Wroclaw we were unable to build football camps and we provide alternative accommodation. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

In Poznan and Gdansk because of mass media campaign against us and hostile treatement from the local authorities who from the beginning wanted to break our projects we could not manage toarrange our camps as we promised on our websites and in our online profiles. All our partners after media black PR backed down. Because of the fact that our main supplier of the modues for the hostels backed out we were not able to realize the project. We offer you now replaceble accommodation in similar standard.

We are still struggling to finalize all the bookings.

We are very grateful to those of you who trusted us and are still with us. We will do our best not to let you down.

A Group of Donegal fans are amongst an estimatated 100 Irish soccer fans who were left without accommodation in Poland last night after they were refused entry to the campsite they had booked and paid for.

Some Irish fans have been left forced to find alternative accommodation after a campsite in Poznan closed

The company which organised their accommodation said that it was making alternative arrangements for the fans.

In a statement it blamed the closure of the site on a media campaign against it and what it described as “hostile treatment from the authorities”.

Amongst those affected were four fans from Co Donegal and two from Co Meath, who had to sleep on a concrete floor in a building at an industrial estate last night.

Before leaving Ireland, the fans had made their payments of €2,400 to the campsite operator using booking.com.

Booking.com said it was working with Hotelioni to refund customers left without accommodation

Lads, is anybody in Gdansk yet and gone to the place?

soccerc wrote: This is the latest on their website contradicting previous one of Saturday OFFICIAL STATEMENT Because of mass media campaign against us and hostile treatment from the local authorities who disseminate false information that our camp in Poznań does not exist we are determined to correct this information. In Poznań, our campsite operates since 9 June 2012. Campsite has all the permits and meets the standard as we promised on our websites and in our online profiles. For this reason the authorities’ action of redirecting Hotelioni guests to municipal camp is groundless and unauthorized. All Hotelioni guests are invited to come to our campsite in Poznań. We also want to stress that the administrative issues related to modular hotels not shatter the fact that the campsite operates legally and we are struggling to finalize the project. We declare definitely that Hotelioni ensure the accommodation or replaceable accommodation in similar standard for all our guests in all four cities throughout the whole of the period of Euro 2012. For those who will not be satisfied we offer replaceable accommodation in similar standard. So, please not to accept unauthorized municipal offers and come to Hotelioni first. Guests who accept the municipal’s offer without prior Hotelioni’s consent will be able to apply for compensation only from the municipal authorities. Hotelioni Management

Myself and my brother arrived at the Posnan site on Saturday to be greeted by a young lad employed by Hotelioni that the site had been closed due to it not being licensed (and never had one), and through lack of hygeine, which also applied to the cabins! The place was an absolute dump - you wouldn't keep animals in it.

18 of us from Huddersfield RISSC were booked into Hotelioni - Only got to know about the closure on Sunday upon arrival though! We transferred up to the Campervan Village, which was fine, nice set-up and good craic, although we had to pay for the accommodation again, in cash.

Have emailed Booking.com for reimbursement but no reply as yet - anyone else had any response?
Not good for a firm you expect to be ok with - as per previous, post pays to double check accommodation booked and not take it for granted.
