has anyone ever used LASTMINUTE.COM. to book a hotel in London? The price seems fine but I desperately need to know whether this site is reliable. Any answer or comment would be mostly appreciated.

lastminute.com is probably the biggest internet tour site in the UK - it's the only "success" story from the tech stocks boom a couple of years ago. They're very well known here, and for that reason although I've never used them I would consider doing so in the future.

LastMinute.com is fine. I have used them several times, booking hotel rooms, restaurants and theatre tickets. There has never been a problem. Prices are usually cheaper than elsewhere. Especially good at the moment are the hotels in the UK/Europe. Just got a %50 discount on a 5* hotel in E'burgh.

I have used them for a number of years for all sorts of things: theatre, hotels, gifts etc and have never had a problem. Recently used them for stays at a number of hotels in various european locations all at very good discounts!<BR>
