- Guests
- 2 colleagues

What the trip actually needs
- Breakfast for both
- Somewhere to work in the evening
- Late checkout on the last day
Written once, in plain words. No card, nothing charged, an account only when you send.
Example: a business posts a 2-night Edinburgh trip for 2 colleagues with a £640 budget. Three independent hotels reply with private offers of £620, £580 and £540, each including breakfast and extras. The business picks the £540 offer, £100 under budget, prepaid with one receipt.
An example, not a real offer. The hotels here are invented; the real partner hotels are on the Partners page.
