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.
