Hotels.com is great if you're not particularly loyal to one hotel chain. Otherwise, get yourself a Platinum Amex and you get instant status at about half a dozen chains without the need to earn it. Of course you still need to have an account with said chains and book direct in order to get the perks. If a third party agent gets you better price than booking direct then chasing status isn't worth it.Leave a comment:

I usually stay away for 3 nights per week and prefer the hotel chains IHG, Marriott, Hilton and Accor
You get loyalty points for fee nights and you get VAT receipts
Book through topcashback or quidco you get an additional %-age cashback usually between 8 and 15%
Don't book through websites such as hotels.com as it won't count towards your loyalty points and statusLeave a comment:

Who had an account with:
Aparthotels & Serviced Apartments | Roomzzz Aparthotels
If you know you are staying for a while you might as well go direct with Roomzzz. Although pricy, I found this was the cheapest option for a serviced apartment. You could go for private share but the tricky part is are they VAT registered and length of contract.
With Roomzzz I could claim the VAT back and leave with no notice period.
This only works if you are outside IR35 obviously.Leave a comment:

If your contract is deemed inside IR35 or working via umbrella or PAYE your accommodation (and all other) expenses comes out of your NET pay

I still like hotels rather than the likes of Spareroom/Monday to Friday for a couple of reasons.
1) You know what you are going to get
2) Better privacy, when I am working away the last thing I want is to have to deal with people
3) Don't have to worry about housekeeping
4) Fiddles! I use Quidco and Hotels.com to get cashback (paid to my personal quidco account) and also every 10 nights I stay away I get a free night, which again I use when I am away personally paid for by the company
Mods; as this could be a very useful topic for this forum is there any chance it can be made a sticky and stuck at the top of the forums so everyone can see it? That would be so usefulLeave a comment:
