Excellent Hays travel in Cheltenham

Peter was polite and friendly and so helpful. We had a list of requirements due to mobility issues, but Peter rose to the challenge and found us the holiday we were looking for. We are looking forward to this holiday to Montenegro in September. Thank you

Stockholm city break

I phoned up the company about quotes about going to Stockholm next year and Lindsay found me a quote and the things I have asked for. So I have booked a holiday for next year

Wrong hotel

I'm posting this as an open and honest review of Hays Travel.
I'm appalled at this company. Having not travelled for years I selected them to arrange a city break to Vienna and showed the 4 star Elaya west hotel which boasts luxurious facilities- instead I found myself at the Elaya central hotel which was possibly the worst hotel I've stayed at since I was a student- on return I complained to the Travel agent who arranged this horror story of a trip and who agreed after seeing the pictures of the room advised the complaints process takes weeks (which turned to months) I was finally advised to take the complaint to ABTA Nobody likes the feeling of being ripped off but at £350 per night for a prison cell of a room sorry I can't let this go- so my review is a no star review of the hotel a no star review of Hays Travel customer service and no star review from me

I'm sorry to read your review, the reply was very comprehensive from the tour operator and we did everything possible to get a positive outcome. We act as agents to our travel partners which sadly did not meet your expectations. Kind regards The Cheltenham Team.

A full holiday package for a very good price

The travel agent was very professional. He found the perfect holiday for us. I had looked online myself beforehand and gave up trying to get flights hotels etc. Time was spent with us getting the full package, flight times, hotel, transfers, all for a very reasonable price

Don't travel with Hayes travel

Don't travel with Hayes travel. One of the worse holiday companies I've ever used. They get your holiday wrong and they don't want to help only give you 1% of your holiday back. Don't go their. They will scam you and destroy your money and holiday. Don't book with this. Very bad company. Warning ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
