5 stars for hotel direct
So pleased I used hotel direct to book our hotel/rail break. I booked online and got a deal second to none viz 1st class rail from Newcastle to London incl the royal national hotel in Bloomsbury (very central) for 2 nights for 3 adults sharing a room. Booking just rail 1st class would be £200 each!This deal cost us only £282.The booking was so straightforward and when I had a query I rang the number on the invoice and actually got to speak to a person - who was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely use again.
