Good price and excellent service
We used Hotel Direct to book a theatre break with overnight stay (Tina the Musical + Tower Hotel). The process was easy and the cost was very reasonable compared to booking the theatre and hotel separately. A nice touch was an email from Hotel Direct shortly before our stay reconfirming arrangements with the Tower Hotel.
Hotel Direct have a justifiably high rating on TrustPilot. We shall definitely be using Hotel Direct again in the future.

The weekend break booked with Hotel Direct was so easy to arrange!
The weekend break booked with Hotel Direct was so easy to arrange. I booked online, and every part of the break lived up to our expectations. The hotel booking included bed & breakfast , the train was also included and the price was much better than booking separately. Hotel Direct also booked the Theatre and this was also a very easy process

FANTASTIC
From the initial booking to the return journey home everything was perfect . Communication was perfect , we was kept updated well in advance of any changes.
A good variety of hotels to select your stay, and the same goes for the selection of theatre/shows.

Another great stay
Easy to book and great choice of hotels to stay in. Staff very helpful when realising room type was incorrect.
Having print out the theatre tickets, as suggested, problem at theatre 'checking in' as bar code not QR. Staff quickly resolved problem and had a great show.
