London weekend

Hello folks

We're (2 of us) having a weekend in London, 23 - 26 March, going by train from Manchester. How does this look?

Superbreak.co.uk, Kensington Close Hotel (3 nights, double room) £148.50pp, plus rail tickets at £29pp return.

Just wanted an opinion as that rail ticket sounds cheap! Can anyone see any catches?

Thanks

    I would stay at the Travelodge in London https://www.travelodge.co.uk and spend the rest of the money on whatever you wanted in London.
    I saw ROOMS (not pp) from £26 a night for the dates you're traveling...unless you want to spend all that money of course.
    I would use Virgin Trains or something to ride down to London...and book the tickets myself!

    Good luck in any case, Nicky :)

    Thanks for that, I'll take a look. The cheapest Virgin Trains I can find is £50 each return, though.
