What are customers saying about Hotel Direct?

Everything was easy to book

Everything was easy enough to book. And to be honest, it was cheaper than trying to book everything separately on my own. You get a choice of hotels, shows and travel times. I chose double tree by hilton in victoria, London. Which was a very nice, clean hotel, with a name linked to Hilton, i would have expected it, and all within walking distance of everything. Went to see Wicked which was a 4 min walk from our hotel. And the coach station was about 10 mins walk away. Would I use Hotel Direct again?? Absolutely

Simple and easy

Simple and easy to use and book your break away . We were sent emails with our ticket, rail and hotel bookings . Very happy with the service will definitely use again.

Well organised. Thoroughly recommend

Very easy to book. I had a query before booking so rang the company and spoke to a very helpful person. Entire package well organised, everything worked a treat. Hotel that I chose (Holiday Inn Express) was within easy walking distance to Abba Voyage Arena. Chose to go on the dance floor at Arena - great choice! I`ve been before and we had seats. The dance floor experience was better although obviously both are great!

Fast and efficient service

Fast and efficient service, Chris very good with our train booking.

Hotel Direct, great experience

National express bus was great both ways. On time. Park Plaza Victoria hotel was great. Tina Turner Musical was fabulous. All done in one easy booking with hotel direct. Great communication. Hotel direct also checked the hotel booking a few days before and text us a reminder. All clearly explained. Cheaper and easier than trying to book it myself.

Excellent company, great service. Everything confirmed with the hotel prior to arrival. Good range of hotels offered. Theatre tickets and trains all arranged as requested.

Why stay in Basingstoke?


Many people wrongly assume that Basingstoke is a new town but it can be traced back a long way and the town market is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. The Iron Age hill fort at Winklebury, which is 2 miles west of the town centre, is just one of a number of early settlements in the area, and the weekly market has been held since 1214. The town's development was greatly influenced by the cloth trade and brewing was a major industry during the 18th and 19th century. In the 1960's Basingstoke became an expanded town as part of the plan to alleviate the population pressures of London and was selected due to its enviable location on the main trade routes between the South West and London and its great transport links to the capital. More recently the town has become a hub for business and industry with many large companies such as Sony and Motorola having facilities in the area. The town also has a number of shopping centres and entertainment venues such as Festival Place which houses over 200 shops as well as a multi-screen cinema. There are several theatres such as the Haymarket which is housed in the old Corn Exchange as well as a great selection of restaurants and bars.
