A Stopover Stay

Easy to use. I was looking for a stopover stay on a long journey and there were a lot of options. As we were travelling with a group of friends we needed four rooms and this information was available on the site. The booking was made quickly and at a good price. Now looking forward to that stay.

Do not use I booked a premium deluxe room

I booked a premium deluxe room at £165 per night for our 1st wedding anniversary staying 2 nights. Then found after booking secret escapes had put we were in just a deluxe room, which should have been a cheaper price, on chatting with customer service they said unless I had taken screen shots at the time of booking to show what I booked they wouldnt do anything even though the price difference clearly shows I booked and paid for the more expensive room, it was them that had made the mistake but they wouldnt do anything to rectify it. Shocking company and shocking customer service. I will never use them again.

Dear Steve,

thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, especially as your stay was planned to celebrate such a special occasion. We understand how disappointing this situation must have been.

We sincerely apologise for the confusion regarding your room type and for the frustration caused by your experience with our customer service. This is not the level of service we strive to provide.

Our team will review your case and get in touch with you directly to investigate what happened and discuss this with you further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope we have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us.

Online problems sorted by helpful staff.…

We had problems with the online booking. We were trying to book two consecutive nights and the system would not allow. This turned out to be an issue of availability of different room types which had different rates.
I contacted the virtual assistant which was surprisingly good and easy to explain and understand the problem. I was then put through to a very helpful agent at Secret Escapes who was able to process and book our stay albeit as two separate reservations.
So despite the initial online difficulties I was very happy with the way SC assisted and completed the booking.

I wanted to book a hotel with an accessible room

I wanted to book a hotel but needed to make sure that accessible rooms were available since my wife uses a wheelchair. I used Secret Escapes contact system to get answers to my questions etc. This was very successful with helping to make a booking over the phone with Ahmed from Secret Escapes.
All hotels would help disabled people if they made it clear on websites that accessible rooms are available.

Seemless booking experience

Once we decided on our holiday, the whole process of booking was seamless. Very clear and easy. My only negative was that it could have been clearer on how to sort out transfers and adding luggage to our booking, but I did manage to sort that out.
