Hi.

A hotel denied checkin which was booked through MMT.

I am a single traveler, and not even a local resident. I was in this city for a client meeting.

What is the best action that I could take?

I tried calling MMT but they say that they could only refund the amount.

It's raining heavily and there's no taxi /uber / ola available.

Update: I booked a nearby hotel offline. Now the thing is is it worth to take any action against MMT? Horrendous support. Couldn't just just do anything and simply offered a refund that too by asking me to draft an email to them.

Talk to the hotel, and see if they have any room available.

Goibibo was helpful twice to me for similar issue(solved in 30 mins). Maybe we should prefer goibibo over mmt if rates are same or slight difference

Which is the best budget online booking site for solo travelling? Was booking Oyo before due to affordable prices but had disastrous experience couple of times so looking for alternatives now!

And those railway retiring rooms are usually very good.

Where are they located? Within station or nearby? A reserved coach ticket with valid pnr is necessary, right? Any timeline for what time after/before travel on that ticket one can book room for?

If you want to damage then write a negative review with extra masala and copy paste everywhere, their twitter , Facebook page, playstore app etc, you'll get some compensation else santusti to milegi hi..! This is very bad if they've confirmed booking then they should provide service as promised, u can drag to consumer court also if this is not their in their t&c. But it'll take your time also.

I am willing to take legal action. Where can I file a complaint as a consumer?

Consumer forum would have been helpful if you didn't get refund. But now that you have received refund I don't think you can do much online.

I was in same situation couple of months ago. Read somewhere that it is responsibility of both the booking partner and Hotel to provide customer with same or above facility stay in a nearby location, but nobody cares.

happened many times with oyo, hotel denied checkin many times by giving silly excuses.. oyo gave option to either refund or book another hotel... same for all companies.. they can't do anything about it.. nowadays hotel staff not very good..

oyo, goibibo and other can just give you refund or book another hotel... what you can do is take another hotel if needed otherwise opt for refund.. but you must gave a negative feedback on google maps and other place where that hotel is showing.. so that other travellers don't face the same problem..

tip : always check reviews on google maps of the hotel you are booking on apps ( recent reviews).. this can give you basic idea

I don't think this an issue of mmt but it's issue of the hotel where they overbooked and you just got unlucky that you checked in later than others. Unfortunately there's nothing much you can do here except ask the hotel or mmt for extra compensation paid for the last minute extra charges incurred.

This happens when you do not reconfirm with Hotelier after booking. It just takes another 1 minute to reconfirming

Even that is not an assurance, even after confirming twice after booking , they were denying to give room. Finally after 15-20 mins of arguments they magically arranged the room in same hotel.!!

Had a good experience with Cleartrip. Booked a room with 24 hr check in checkout option. Then I called the hotel, they denied 24hours. Then Cleartrip gave me 24 hours option at a hotel within 50m and almost 150% of the existing hotel cost

Damn! I have a hotel reserved with mmt (31st Aug)  for a tight date @ 1, I was thinking to make the balance thru gift card luxury availbale @ 11% off but now I am not sure if I should take that risk because if they cancel and refund i will get stuck with family as well as money will get stuck in gift card.
