        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs ea)
        {
            ImageButton testbtn = new ImageButton();
            testbtn.OnClientClick = "testbook('15000')";
            form1.Controls.Add(testbtn);

        }
        [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
        public static void addSession(String hotelcode)
        {
            HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("hotelcode", hotelcode);

        }


    }
}

You should debug into the addSession method (set breakpoint) and check if it's excuted. And make it a public accessor. — thmshd

You can keep WebMethod inside an .aspx page. But the method must be public and static. See my answer. @RGraham — Subin Jacob

It must be

[WebMethod (EnableSession=true)]
        public static void addSession(String hotelcode)
        {
            HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("hotelcode", hotelcode);

        }

Please Note: The method must be public, static and EnableSession attribute must be true.

EDIT 1:

'return false' is added to prevent the Default function of a button. The default function of a button is to post form to server. Alternatively, event.preventDefault() can be used to prevent the default functionality.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function testbook(hotelcode) {

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "test.aspx/addSession",
            data: "{'hotelcode':'" + hotelcode + "'}",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (msg) {
                window.location.href = "Hotelresul.aspx";
            },
            error: function (err) {
                window.location.href = "TravellerInfo.aspx";
            }
        });


 return false;

    }

</script>

EDIT 2:

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs ea)
        {
            ImageButton testbtn = new ImageButton();
            testbtn.OnClientClick = "return testbook('15000')";
            form1.Controls.Add(testbtn);

        }

please press ctrl+shift+J from your browser (chrome) and chose console tab. After executing (ie clicking the button) the code please Quote the error reported.

I did try that also, still no luck

Run your Project (press F5). After executing this ajax call, from visual studio > debug> view intelli trace events> expand the last exception caught and see the error.

added 'return' to onClientClick and returned false to your javaScript function. This should work. please check the updated answer.

You are welcome ! 'return false' is added to prevent the Default function of a button. The default function of a button is to post form to server. Alternatively, event.preventDefault() can be used to prevent the default functionality. api.jquery.com/event.preventDefault
