Alfa Travel Reviews

This was 1st time as a solo traveller, wont be the last.Had a great time at the Queens hotel Blackpool. Hotel, staff and food were all great. Alpha coaches you now have me hooked.

Well organised trip. The hotel was clean tidy and well furnished. The food was average. The trips were excellent, although not the companies fault, The train trip was slightly let down by not having a steam train. The staff were excellent.

Had a great time , picked up , taken to Burtonwood , to join the coach to take us to Torquay, had a lovely Hotel , right on the Harbour, lovely views ,food was very enjoyable, nice choices, a couple of trips included , which we enjoyed and a free day to do what we wanted, and taken back lovely driver Kevan

The driver made us all feel welcome and so did the hotel. The food was always prompt and hot and the service was good.The hotel was clean and friendly.

Excellent coach driver also staff at hotel very warm & friendly. My 1st time with Alfa & I'll definitely be going on more holidays with them. Excellent time.

I enjoyed the company of my fellow travellers. The tour was well organised by the driver and the hotel and food were good. The resort was so picturesque.

Brilliant driver to start with and the hotel was really nice the trips were great very well organised will certainly travel with you again thankyou

Our main driver was very good and helpful. Hotel accommodation also good. Nice and clean every where. Staff helpful and meals good . Especially for gluten free . Although not shown on menu. The 2 day trips very enjoyable. The only complaint was not being allowed to arrive at hotel until 3.30/4.00pm. This made for a long journey and unnecessary stop off somewhere else.This being the only reason I may not come again. .

The hotel is very good. The Staff very helpful and friendly.

Very good driver. Good trips. Lovely bedroom ar the hotel.Because we were 2nd sitting for dinner sometimes things were not replaced very quickly but on the whole food was ok.

The driver Andy was brill helpful very informative and professional all week. The hotel was the best Alfa hotel we’ve stayed in .the shanklin Isle of Wight . Manager and staff first class .bedroom was clean and modern . Food good . Couldn’t find any faults. Would highly recomend

It was my first time travelling alone .Went to Newquay stayed at Eliot Hotel. Staff, food, cleanliness and entertainment 10 out of 10 everyone was helpful, nothing to much trouble for them. The driver was a fantastic on our trips out ,so many sights to see. the only fault being ,no lift working all week, although it didn't bother me it was so upsetting to watch old disabled people many with sticks and walkers struggling up and down the many staircases. Also I thought the 3 hour journey from Poulton-le-Fylde to the interchange with so many pick up points was a bit much. Other than that I had a great holiday with sun every day for a bonus. Thankyou

Everything was absolutely lovely and our driver Minty was just great and good fun, the only complaint we all had was we didn't get enough time in some places, namely Galway because we went to Connemara Crystal which no-one was bothered about and at Kylemore Abbey we just didn't have enough time to see it all. It was generally thought that fewer places with more time would be better and bearing in mind the majority of people on these tours are elderly and therefore slower and needing a bit more time to look around.

Lovely coach driver. Made us all feel at ease and well looked after. Hotel Leonardo modern decor and very clean. Unfortunately the food let it down as it was quite poor

It was a decent hotel in Shanklin and the food was good there.The Shanklin area was very good too.

We have only rated 4 stars because of a couple of things. No. 1. There were 6 steps within the hotel and no stair-lift for the less able to reach the corridor where the lifts are. As my husband has a problem with steps (and we noticed a few other people having problems too), we wondered if something could be done in the future. No. 2. During breakfast we noticed that there were no breakfast pastries for those of us that didn’t want a cooked breakfast. Apart from these two things, we enjoyed ourselves there. The staff are a credit to the company. The ones with whom we had contact with were extremely pleasant and helpful and always had a smile on their faces.

The position and appearance of the hotel is very good the outside including the garden are kept tidy. The reception area and staff are outstanding. The waiters were all cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. I bet the manager runs a tight ship and keeps them all on there toes. Lovely food and super breakfasts. The room number 127 was quite clean and the bed was comfy. The trips out were all well organised. I had visited the towns we went to before but hadn't been on any of the rail journeys, so that made a point of interest for the day. Derek the coach driver was excellent he was cheerful but not too much 'in your face', he was very good with all the travellers who had walkers helping them on and off the coach etc. I never heard him swear or blaspheme once always a good thing. He too earned his share of this years Alfa profits. To be honest I was not expecting a lot from this holiday. About 25 years ago I stayed with Alfa at Dunoon and when the holiday was over Mrs. Moore and I vowed we would never go with Alfa again, so this was my first holiday with you since then. I have been very pleasantly surprised as to how good it was. I chose Alfa because we got free time in the resort not a trip every day as a lot of tour operators do. As things stand at the moment I will certainly be travelling with Alfa again God willing.

Excellent trip to the lakes, hotel fine food and staff were excellent can not fault them,but only thing wrong the room we had the wash basin was inside bedroom and bathroom was very small but it was not a real problem

Coaches comfortable, feeder coach pick up on time. Hotel clean and very friendly helpful staff. Food good choices and cooked well. The whole experience was good, although did not realise how tiring coach travel can be.

the hotel was lovely the management and staff were second to none so helpful, knowledgable and friendly our room was so clean and welcoming fresh linen everyday sundries topped up daily and cleaned daily. the meals were very good always hot and our waiter was lovely chap
