What our clients say about us at

When I booked the Rollason Wood Hotel in Birmingham it was the first time I had ever used the Infotel website.

I found it extremely fast and easy to use. I requested the hotel that I wanted and the team at Infotel booked it and sent through the confirmation. Now I know how easy it is I will continue to use Infotel to book hotels whenever I need them.

E Mullen

I used Infotel.co.uk to book the Grove Hill Hotel, London. The website was easy to use and I had a confirmation sent through within minutes. I have used Infotel since and will continue to use them as I really appreciate the service that they provide.

I have used Infotel on more than one occasion and have never had any complaints. All I have to do is put through a request and they will find somewhere meeting all of my requirements and within budget, plus the hotels are always a good standard!

Mark Dimmock

I called Infotel to find me a hotel in central london. They worked quickly and found me something within my budget, which is pretty impressive for such a busy area. I have used Infotel for many years now and they have never failed me yet.”
