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.

Travel made easy

Hotel Direct made our trip to London easy to arrange with good choice of hotel in an ideal location.

Excellent company, really accommodating

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. Good discounts provided compared to booking independently. I have used Hotels Direct twice and will definitely use in the future.

Easy

The website was straight forward to use and helped us find an appropriate hotel that fit the criteria we were looking for. The booking and payment went well, and everything we booked went to plan with no issues. Will use them again without hesitation.

Booking a theatre break

Why book with Hotel Direct?

Hotel Direct was established in 1997. In 2010 we launched our theatre breaks service and in 2016 we partnered with all the UK's main train operating companies to offer London theatre breaks by rail from anywhere in the UK. We've obtained special package concessions from the train companies so booking your show, hotel and rail tickets together means that you get up to 50% off the train fares. What's more we're also able to offer up to 15% off our already discounted hotel prices when you book a package. With Hotel Direct you also get the reassurance that you're booking with a trusted UK company with a customer review score of 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot and a 5-star Google review rating. We're a British company and all our employees are in the UK so booking with us, you're putting a little bit back into the UK economy.

Travel from anywhere in the UK

Gone are the olds days of fixed travel days and set departure points. With our dynamic theatre breaks by rail you can travel when you want from wherever you want. Dynamic packages allow you to combine any rail travel available on the UK mainland network, with any London show and any one of hundreds of central London hotels. Discounts for packages will be included with savings off your rail fares and hotel plus the best possible prices on your theatre tickets.

We love theatre and trains!

There's no better way to arrive in the capital than by rail. Only a train can deliver you to the heart of the city via any one of 10 gateway train stations. Only on a train can you work, eat, move about, read and write, stream movies and music or just chat across a table to a friend or fellow traveller. It is the most civilised and relaxed way to travel to London. And we love theatre. Every employee of Hotel Direct has been to London shows and can guide your choice of show with personal insight and a real passion for the theatre.

Choose where you'll sit - in the train and theatre

With Hotel Direct you can choose whether you sit at a window, facing or with your back to the direction of travel, in a quiet or normal coach. You can choose to upgrade to First Class. For theatre we have unique interactive seating plans of all West End theatres. You'll be able to choose exactly where you are sitting and compare prices and ratings of all available seats.

It's cheaper to book your rail tickets within a theatre break

Booking a break means that we can offer special offer rates that are only available for packages. With a theatre break by rail you have the opportunity of getting extra discounts off the rail fares and hotel prices. In fact up to 50% off the price of the train tickets and up to an extra 15% off the price of your hotel booking. So if you're travelling to London by train to see a show, book a Theatre Break by rail and save a small fortune.
