Testimonials "I made this booking via the www.Infotel.co.uk, I found it very easy to use and the booking was made in no time at all!"

"I was happy with the service I received from Infotel. It was much easier than going through an internet site. The staff were friendly, efficient and I had a very successful stay."

"We had a very pleasant stay at royal victoria hotel which I booked through infotel. Although the hotel I originally requested was fully booked the team at infotel worked quickly to find me somewhere else suitable to stay and made sure they called me with the options that they had found. I appreciated this as it meant I still felt that I was choosing my accommodation, it was just made much easier!"

"Infotel team were efficient, team had taken notes into consideration and as I was pregnant made sure I had a room on the ground floor 5/5 - can't fault - would use Infotel again" Bex Hough

"We stayed at Amblehurst Hotel, manchester which we booked through infotel. We had never used infotel before but were very impressed with the service that they provided us with. At short notice they managed to find us a cheap and good value hotel in manchester, which is a very busy area. We will definitely use infotel again, a very satisfying experience."

"I used www.infotel.co.uk to book the grove hill hotel in london. I always use infotel when I need to find somewhere to stay whilst I am working.

They always find me something within budget and provide me with an excellent and friendly service."

Big Interview Name - Allana Braddon Job Title - Reservations Agent Time worked at Infotel - 5 months

“I work within the reservations team answering calls and dealing with business, leisure and transient bookings. I manage their accounts, get to know the client personally and find suitable accommodation for them.”

What are the best/worst things about working at Infotel?

Working within such a happy and cooperative team definitely makes the job enjoyable. I am a people person and love knowing that every day I am going to speak with someone different, you never know who is going to call in!

I hate when I get a client and I am not able to meet their needs, unfortunately you can never please everyone.

What is the funniest thing you have heard/experienced since working here?

What’s the most bizarre experience that you’ve had at work?

I once had a man call me from Norway looking for a hotel but he could not understand English very well and could not communicate. He couldn’t work out why I could not speak Norwegian back and would not hang up for about 15 minutes just mumbling to me, it was strange.

Name one thing not many people know about you

I was a competing gymnast for all of my childhood.

I find a lot of things funny at work, mostly stories that the hotels report back of the guests behavior, some things are so strange. I have heard all sorts from guests acting suspicious, to people passing out on the reception floor, to guests smuggling dogs into the room disguised.'

Have any hidden talents?

What is the best piece of career advice you have been given?

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Never try to please everyone around you or you will end up running yourself into the ground, focus on yourself and remember you can only do as well as you can.

If you could be anybody else for a week, who would you be?

This is a hard question, probably someone influential who holds a lot of power, like Barack Obama.

Unfortunately not.

What's your favourite song of all time?

Is this love by Bob Marley.

Definitely Koh Samui which is a little paradise island off the coast of Thailand.

Who or what is your guilty pleasure?

Come dine with me is on my TV every night.
