“We went to the Queens Hotel in Blackpool, we were told the game's room would be open, but it was closed, so was the swimming pool, and so was the hot tub, which was supposed to be included in the hotel deal, which was what we paid for, so really it is going against the trade descriptions act, so it would be good to get some sort of refund for something I have paid for and not used, very disappointed”

“This company cancelled our self drive holiday to Torquay for the 31st of July 2021 (booked in February) on the 14th of July 2021. When asked why, they said that Alfa had taken the decision to cancel the rooms allocated to self drive customers in favour of allocating these rooms to coach customers. (I presume after the government decision to remove covid restrictions they could fill their coaches after the 19th of July). Be aware that when booking self drive with Alfa you are treated secondary to their coach bookings.”

“Went to Criccieth a month ago. Hotel is old but clean has charm . when i book into a 3 star hotel im not expecting a 5 star like alot of people do. if people want 5 star then pay for it and stop moaning about 3 star.”

“We went on an Alfa tour to the Isle of Wight Our journey back home was a nightmare we waited over an hour and half to board the birmingham bound feeder coach. at the hotel we had been told to check the list of coach numbers,which we did and as the number 7 was against Birmingham we put that onto our luggage.at Tamworth we had to hang about for over an hour and half before coach number 7 was finally shouted .and we could continue our jouney.after a while I received a strange call on my mobile asking me where abouts on our journey we were.on asking the driver we were told we were on the wrong coach and had to get off as it wasn’t going to Birmingham.although the driver had done a head count and didn’t say he had 3extra people on board when we set off.we were somewhere outside Tamworth.we are 80 yearold pensioners. 2 of which are disabled and have difficulty walking we had to catch a local bus to Birmingham where our luggage was going to be taken by coach.but that if we weren’t there they couldn’t wait for us We had no chance getting there on time so the luggage would go to Shrewsbury. when asked how and when we were going to receive our luggage they more or less said that it wasn’t their problem. I think that is disgraceful.we followed the information we were given and now have to find and pay someone to retrieve it we never trust or use this company again”

“Have been with Alfa before and was well looked after. Drivers were always friendly and talked you through history of areas driven through, keeping the travelling interesting Our trip this time to St Ives was only blighted by hotel but covid has got to take some of blame. The service by Alfa staff and the driver Kevin were first class, professional friendly and really helpful. This made the holiday worthwhile. The trips out were very well received. The time spent on the coach was to be expected and Kevin deserves a medal for dealing with all the traffic issues. Feed back to Alfa is necessary to help them deal with issues but some comments omit to show a balanced experience considering what the country is still dealing with. Now saving for next journey thank you Alfa and Kevin”

“We booked holiday to Skegness for 4 nights. We were not advised that we would be picked up by feeder bus to be taken to Woodhall Services. The driver got lost going from Rotherham to Woodhall. We had a 45 minute wait at Woodhall. We originally set off from Rotherham at 9.45 expecting to have one stop and arrive in Skegness in about 4 hours even though the car journey would take about 2 hours. We finally were told that we couldnt get into the hotel until 15.30. We were taken miles out of our way to delay arrival. We arrived at 15.45 so the outward journey took 6 hours. The hotel was ok but the food was not very good and we had to be down for breakfast at 8 o'clock. The homeward journey was even worse it took just over 7 and a half hours. I know you have to make allowances for traffic but it was ridiculous. I will never travel with this company again and strongly recommend anyone else to get all the full travel details before setting off. Had we known we would have gone by car. We had a lovely few days but the journey spoiled any enjoyment we had as we were frustrated and annoyed by the time we got home.”

“Alfa traveller for over ten years. Firstly may i just say the grammer of some reviews on here is absolutely appalling.Alfa travel don't and never have professed to be 4 or 5 star accomodation. They cater for and older traveller yes true, however the hotels are not like nursing homes, because of covid restrictions things have had to be altered including, room service, meals and entertainment.That is the LAW they have had to follow. The Regina admittedly is an older establishment that needs a touch up but its value for money, very close to sea front staff are very helpful and issues usually resolved. We travelled on may 19th this year the meals breakfast was fine , evening meals ok we did have a repeat meat on menu two seperat nights but as we had only just come out of official lockdown on May 17th, it was probably not cost effective to have freezers full of food that may go to waste, also the companies where Alfa buy their produce will have been on lockdown too OR operating on reduce sales due to lack of business. Whilst I agree its totally unacceptable to have to stay in a building site, these hotels need to carry out essential repairs and try to redecorate at some point, this then prevents people complaining about the hotel needing to be redecorated.To complain about the hotels being for people of a certain age is quite disrespectful, they cater for any age i personally have stayed at the imperial at ilfracombe and a young family were staying through an Alfa booking.The company picks you up at local pickup cases loaded for you, taken to Burtonwood, cases off loaded and reloaded onto your main coach, driven to destination , cases off loaded brought to bedroom door, and same on return leave cases outside bedroom, Meals B N B board, excursions included, evening entertainment if you so use to join in, and apart from building site hotels obviously , i think that they offer value for money.People complain about the staff and language barriers, i wonder how they feel when housekeeping have to clean some rooms out after elderly visitors have left !!!!! need i say anymore.Alfa are not perfect but they try to ensure we enjoy our holidays for the majority of people they are very popular.”

“Went to Criccieth in Wales. Room awful paid extra for view, we got scaffolding outside the window, hotel under refurbishment which we were not aware off. No heating room really cold had to have a remote radiator on all day, also extra quilt. Food awful, the chef is only a cook could not even cook roast potatoes. The waitress was fantastic, could not fault her. When we complained to the manager he said it’s not his fault complain to Alfa, which we did on return. The tours also were fantastic could not complain about them either, which we really enjoyed. Thank you. We have traveled with Alfa before and have always had a very nice holiday. When returning from Wales, we went out of our way to drop a guy off who was on the same holiday as us, due to this we got to the services only 20mins before we had to get on our feeder coaches. My sister does not live near me so no time for goodbyes just loo and buy something to eat, which was very sad.”

“Went to newquay with alfa travel, this holiday was important becaus i was 60 while we were away the reason for my early holiday i had a great time our driver john was very helpful and nothing was to much and was very knowledgeable about the places he took us. From booking my holiday to the coach station an back was seamless, are hotel was very good and the staff amazing. The only thing we could not use the pool but i understand the management wanting to wait until the 21 june, i was a bit put out by no entertainment on the saturday night because the other coach had not arrived and was running late, but our coach was still on holiday and if we went out we would not of got in any where as every where was packed because of the fooball, a big thanks to jhon for making our holiday a pleasant experience.”
