We had a fantastic experience with Louise

We had a fantastic experience with Louise at the Parkhead Forge branch. She took the time to go through everything with us thoroughly and made sure all our questions were answered. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her friendly, professional approach made the whole process easy and stress-free.

Excellent customer service from start to finish. We would definitely return and would happily book with Louise again in the future. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Louise! 😊

Poop customer service

I was told one price pp on the phone and when I received the confirmation email the price had increased, I realised then that the sales person (Abi) did not did not give me the total price when asking if I was paying full price or deposit. I tried calling multiple times and sent an email with no response. I finally got an answer the next morning after calling a few more times with it just ringing out and was given the run around about people speaking to me (who didn't) and someone calling me back (which never happened) I was then told the price i was given on the phone was never available. If I wasn't lied to and just told the apprentice made i mistake I would have went ahead with the holiday but the attitude of the manager (Tina) on the phone was disappointing so the only option was to cancel and never use the forge again

The agent who I first spoke to was ELAINE, at HAYS TRAVEL, PARKHEAD.GLASGOW

The agent who I first spoke to, Elaine, was knowledgeable, professional and efficient in dealing with my enquiry about a proposed trip to Rome. She endeavoured to find the 'right' hotel regarding location, facilities, and reviews to ensure we had a choice and were not simply fobbed off with the first two ' package deal' hotels that appeared ( as is the case with other travel Agencies)! She didn't try to pressure when i told her I'd need to discuss the choices with my travelling companion.

When returning next day to book the holiday, Elaine was on her day off, so her colleague Rebecca completed the booking. She too, was efficient and professional in finalising the booking, boarding passes etc.
The only problem encountered was the fact we required a Twin Room instead of a standard Double. It would only have taken a short email to request this after we had booked and paid, but Rebecca informed us that the hotel would get confirmation only a week before our arrival, therefore we would have to take what was available!. I checked the Hotel Website myself and there were TWIN rooms available on our dates, therefore, It would have been helpful if the agent was 'allowed' to email the hotel to reserve one of the available Twin rooms for us , given that we had paid there and then for the entire holiday.

Overall, Hays Travel were efficient, professional and made the booking process a virtually seamless part of the holiday process. We will definitely be return customers thanks to the high standard of service at the Parkhead Forge branch. Thank you, D. Deeney
