Abbey travel did not do their research…

Abbey travel did not do their research on our hotel in Vienna.
The hotel had changed its name last year. We were over three hours looking for our hotel in Vienna that didn’t exist.
When we rang Abbey Travel they did not have a clue. Eventually we found a hotel which was over six kilometres from the city centre. Next time Abbey travel do your research. Thumbs down for me on this one.
The girl in Abbey apologised as she said the hotel had changed names and she couldn’t find it either. Also your add says it’s 4km. Stop making excuses and admit your company made a mistake..

Dear Mrs OReilly,

We regret to receive your 2 star review.

Upon investigating your issue we can confirm the name and address of the hotel on your travel voucher are correct.
When you book your holiday online we also provide the hotel name and address with its location shown on the map, so you would have been aware that it is located 6 kilometres from the centre of Vienna.
The issue is that the hotel has not updated its name on google maps which unfortunately is out of our control.

Despite this we do hope you had a lovely time in Vienna.

Regards
Abbey Travel

Abbey travel so helpful and kind

Abbey travel was sooo helpful to me. I phoned and got through to a lady called Michelle, she listened attentively to my problem, which I was concerned about. She guided me to contact admin by email. Within a few minutes a lovely lady called Alannah Lawlor phoned me explained and gave options to me. I am so thankful to both ladies who put my mind at rest. Thank you again.

Abbey Travel Sports

Got tickets for my partner and son for Chelsea v Barcelona. Paul from Abbey Travel sports was so helpful and once booked i was able to pay in installments. Everything went great for them in London and they are already talking about booking another game for the new year. Would highly recommend Abbey Travel.

Extremely Disappointed with Customer Service

Our experience with Abbey Travel has been deeply frustrating from the very beginning Sept 2024 and continues to be so. We've encountered constant hurdles throughout the process, and in many cases, we had to take matters into our own hands because our assigned agent failed to follow through on key responsibilities.

We are currently in an ongoing dispute over an invoice for a hotel stay and private transfer for two people—services that were clearly offered to us as complimentary. Abbey Travel was aware of this arrangement, by another company yet still chose to bill us. The lack of accountability and poor communication has made an already disappointing experience even worse.

I would strongly advise others to be cautious and double-check every detail when booking through this agency. As they mentioned they did get in contact via phone but didn't feel that we treated badly at all.... infact they ignored us. I think their replies to reviews are standard

Brilliant!!!

Dealt with Paul to organise a trip to Arsenal V Man City game last month. Paul was extremely helpful, I was really impressed with the promptness of his reply and I had a booking for the game including accommodation within minutes. Paul was very knowledgeable when I queried the easiest airport to use and the closest hotel to the Stadium. The lads throughly enjoyed their trip, I couldn't rate the company highly enough, will definitely book another trip. Thanks Paul 😊
