Activity Superstore and Find Me A Gift (both company names are shown on the voucher) offer a "Four Star Overnight Stay And Theatre Package For Two" at £279, which my wife and I were given by my family. To use the voucher, bookings are made through a company called OMG Hotels. While you can specify the show you wish to see, the hotel is allocated by OMG. As my wife hates tube trains I requested a hotel as near as possible to the theatre (Piccadilly), hoping we would be able to walk between the two. We were allocated the Copthorne Tara Hotel near High Street Kensington (three miles/two tube trains away). The hotel room and service were good, other than some noise from the open tube line below, so no major issues there. Theatre tickets were for seats five rows from the back at the highest level of the theatre, with the front of the stage slightly obscured - hardly in keeping with the four star headline. The show itself (Moulin Rouge) was excellent - no complaints there. But booking the same hotel and theatre seats direct would have cost just under £192. I can see no justification for the gift voucher price. Deducting one star for each issue above (poor hotel location, poor theatre seats, poor value for money) leaves a two star rating, which I think is fair.
