    Hi guys, this thread is a fantastic help, have used it when booking before to find out and managed to save over £60 for a 2 night stay at the Crowne Plaza Heathrow.

    However, I was wondering if anyone knows what the below hotel would be? Am looking to book something for my other halfs birthday, and this is coming up as a pretty decent price.

    thanks so very much!

    EDIT: Just found this link to a swedish website which has the exact same description, along with the name and address of the hotel - park grand? Looks lovely, but could anyone confirm? Don't think I'll go for it if it's this; location isn't the best.

    Hi,

    Sorry if this has been raised before (I've searched but can't find anything).

    Has anyone made a booking via Lastminute.com for a Secret Hotel (or any hotel potentially) whilst on a business trip and require a VAT invoice?

    When I made a booking, the confirmation email stated that a VAT invoice couldn't be sent. I stayed at the hotel and the front desk said the same. I contacted Guest Relations and they were able to send me a VAT receipt - great. However, I stayed at the same hotel this week and contacted Guest Relations and they say they can't provide a VAT receipt and I have to get one from Lastminute.com. I've been told when the original person who sent me the VAT receipt is back on duty tomorrow, so I'll try again.

    The reason for this post is, who is responsible for providing a VAT receipt? I have already received one from the hotel this time so I know it can be done, but don't want to have to fight to get one every time I book with Lastminute.com. I stay through my company, but there are strict limits to hotel costs - and the alternative to a lovely hotel with gym and pool is a Travelodge.

    Just for reference, it really helps if you include a link or the full last minute description.

    Hi Topman, thanks for clarification. I'll post the link in future. I ended up phoning crowne plaza instead and found that for 2 nights for £109, so actually quite reasonable for a 4* hotel. Stayed there a few times before and it was great.

    Thanks again
