Booking train, hotel and show with Hotel Direct
Hotel Direct web site was very clear and easy to use. I had saved the train tickets on my phone, but I didn`t need to because Hotel Direct notified me with the ticket QR codes on the out journey and then again on the return journey.
Very smooth service
Booked though hotel direct after researching tickets and a hotel, I found the price offered by hotel direct was lower so thought I`d take the risk...and it payed off. Our hotel was 10mins walk from the theatre meaning we avoided needing a taxi. The hotel was lovely, I would never have found it myself (usually I stick to big chains when traveling with my young daughter), but it was great.The day before travelling I recieved an email just confirming the hotel and theatre ticket info and I found that reassuring. I would definitely use hotel direct in the future.
Everything went smoothly
Everything went smoothly, hotel excellent, seats at the theatre spot on all at a very reasonable price. First time user but will definitely use this site again.
Seamlessly organised
Seamlessly organised, kept informed and great value.
