Steve's reviews
Communication was perfect – he listened to our requirements and provided options that gave us exactly what we were looking for. The hotel we chose could not have been better and included a rooftop wine tasting which proved to be highlight of our trip. Can't wait to work with him again in the future. Thank you…

Travelling on business can be a stressful experience in and of itself, but having to speak at a conference can make things even worse. My recent conference in Paris was no exception – exciting as it was, the constant presentations and networking events can be draining. That’s where Steve came in and helped take the pain of travel planning and booking away. Finding a good hotel location and a quiet room is crucial for me on business trips. With Steve's expertise, I was booked into a fantastic hotel within easy reach of the conference venue, and well-connected for sightseeing in Paris. The best part was the "3rd night free" deal that made the trip more affordable than some of the official conference hotels that were of a lower standard. Additionally, the hotel treated me like a VIP, from checking in at the special 'Platinum Diamond Lounge' (even though I wasn't a member of their loyalty program) to checking out and being offered complimentary drinks for the trip home. The room upgrade, daily breakfast, and €100 credit were very welcome too. Steve took the decision-making and stress out of my business trip, allowing me to focus on the conference and truly enjoy Paris. His attention to detail, cost-saving solutions, and ability to find unique accommodations make him an invaluable resource for any corporate traveler.

I booked my first trip with Steve for a quick vacation in Dallas — he made everything feel seamless. He's very personable, communicative and quick to respond to all my emails. Steve also made sure to check in with me a few times as my stay was approaching (even proactively alerting me of a new promotion from Hyatt Prive), and left a sweet note for me at the hotel (Thompson Dallas). I would love to book with him again! :)

Steve was able to get me a late checkout from my hotel as well as ensure I had a lovely room and breakfast included at a rate I would not have had. The late checkout for 5pm at no additional cost completely changed my stay as I had a late flight from Doha. As such I was able to make full use of the facilities and effectively gain an extra day on my break. Steve was also able to liaise with the hotel on my behalf when I had an unexpectedly late arrival, giving me peace of mind that I had a room to go to as it was not cancelled.
