Hays Travel Sunderland Keel Square: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Quick efficient and polite staff found another holiday. I feel really comfortable going into Keel Square almost part of my family. Thank you to all the staff wishing you all a happy new year I will have a few of these on holiday thinking of you Jeffrey Cowell.
Fantastic experience: Always very friendly and knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: Hazel was first class
Negative experience: More expensive than Gallagher
Negative experience: Wouldn’t recommend any one to use Hayes Travel. We paid for 5 nights stay in Alicante and when we arrived Hayes had only paid the hotel for 1 night. We rang the hotel and explained that we would not be arriving on the days we had booked because I had to spend 5 days in hospital in Benidorm with food poisoning and we would be arriving a few days late. The hotel contacted Hayes by E mail to explain why we wouldn’t be arriving but Hayes didn’t reply to the hotel. The hotel re sold the room we had paid in full for so we had to find alternative accommodation. We are still waiting for an explanation as to where the money we had paid with no comment from Hayes. All they could say we had to claim on our insurance. So £800 is still somewhere within Hayes so beware of using them in future.
Fantastic experience: A very friendly, well run, professional, secure business environment

Fantastic experience: Just gotten back from Costa Rica and wanted to say a big thank you to Shelley in the cruise department. Naturally Tui were as unhelpful as ever, however having Hays there to talk to them for us made everything much much easier and Shelley always did exactly what she said she would, when she said she would. Great service, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I was atkeel sguare if you don't know there is almost all of the ships made on the weir there names and dates of being made on the keel line

Fantastic experience: cool
Fantastic experience: Always book with hats in keel square know all the staff always get good customer service and they always listen to what we are looking for and very reasonable
Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS time Lovely weather and fun just watching the fountains. Thoroughly enjoyable place
Positive experience: Only getting a 4 because we feel more events could be held here. We have attended numerous events here and all has been great. We felt the ice skating was missing the village as it just seemed plonked there. They could really make a great Christmas event here but it's been dwindling to just the ice rink for a while now. It was used a lot during the city of culture bid which suggests it's only good for showing off when sunderland want to win something which is a shame.
Positive experience: Very suprised at how good the fountains are, especially at night with the different colours and variations of height. Was relaxing to watch.
Fantastic experience: Lovely clean tidy area. Great water feature
Positive experience: Good
Positive experience: Ice skating was good fun but would have been more festive with some Christmas stalls around.
Positive experience: Good skating, polar bear aid was a lifesaver (for both me and my 5 year old).
Positive experience: It was an ok pleasant experience
Positive experience: it was enjoyable.
Negative experience: Biggest disappointment in a long time. Sunderland should be ashamed at how dismal the Christmas illuminations are. Not worth seeing.
Fantastic experience: Interesting place to photograph at night.
Negative experience: Hays travel? Ok... well it's a travel agents you go there to go on holiday.... what more can I say...pop in and book yourself a trip I'm sure they will accommodate for all of your needs..if covid allows of course....as for keel square it's not a tourist attraction as such, names of ships that were made on the wear is interesting...and some fountains that arnt on all the time, gets loads of teen kids haning around at times, summer time its just passable for a 10 min rest ..the rest of the year its a chav filled paradise..avoid
Negative experience: It's a car park ffs
Fantastic experience: The place has lots of info regarding various ships built in Sunderland.. It is one of the tourist spots. It has amazing view and colourful fountains which the kids would love to play in.. The place is fully ♿ accessible . There are lots of shopping is eating places around it. There are generally special decorations and setups during festivals like halloween and christmas !
Fantastic experience: Good time to remember 'shipping'
Fantastic experience: This place is very beautiful, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Good to relax
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed emptying the bins
Fantastic experience: Nice place to chill during lunch break. Seagulls seem less of a problem lately. Not been mugged for food for a while.
Positive experience: A relaxing place to sit and stare. Nice pavement fountains.
Fantastic experience: Good for the wheelie
Fantastic experience: Walk the trail showing ships built on the River Wear through to Sunderland's shipbuilding years to the glass propeller showing the people who helped build the ships. Once dusk falls the cascading water show begins with changing lights. This is now a lovely civic space in front of the magistrates. The fountains weren’t on when I took my early morning picture, but they are lovely. Great to see some regeneration going on.
Positive experience: Food festive good plenty of choice loved Venezuelan Arepas also Greek pork Gyros my favourite
Positive experience: Good access to all shops, etc.
Fantastic experience: My kids love the fountain. In the night time it is beautifully illuminated. Some teens skate there everyday, they don't shout and they act nice. It is nice to see some tricks. Now they opened the area on the other side of the road next to the new building. This place is getting pretty.
Fantastic experience: The fact that every ship made on the Wear is listed on the Pavements makes an interesting walk. It looks good and is actually something Sunderland has done right. I o e running through the water fountains on a hot day. Today was even better as I finished my first 10km in 3 years.
Positive experience: Great please to sit in the summer
Fantastic experience: Beautiful in the sunshine, great start point for the 10k
Fantastic experience: Nice, modern little square. Fountains and court building are nice when dark.
Positive experience: Nothing there yet
Fantastic experience: Lovely place to chill out between meetings, especially when the weather is lovely.
Negative experience: Like a stalinist monument

Positive experience: Expensive
Positive experience: Nice atmosphere and hot fires beer price not bad. Cocktails aren't great they need to be improved

Negative experience: A fairly nondescript open space in the centre of Sunderland, constructed at great expense
Positive experience: Street food and drink
Negative experience: Derty place to meny charity shops car parking over priced definitely dont look after the local community would not recommend to eny visitors.
Fantastic experience: Sunderland half marathon.
Fantastic experience: A great relaxing plaza at the end of the High Street. With wooden and granite benches. Children love the mini fountains that spring from the paving at varying intervals. The fountains and the Old Magistrate's Court are illuminated with varying colours after sun down. Easy access to shops, pubs, restaurants and Sunderland Empire.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to just walk by. Not a sit and chill place as there aren't many public seats. Nice small water jet display with lights. Disks give some nice colours in the sky for photos.
Positive experience: It's only Sunderland
Positive experience: Although a nice space, at the moment it's a bit dislocated from anything really. When the vaux site over the road is complete and there are more workers and people traffic in the area the square will make more sense. Also a new hotel is due on the square soon which will complete the picture.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to sit down and relax when everything gets too busy.
Positive experience: Fountains are great & it's fantastically decorated at xmas time with a market, cinema screen & ice rink
Positive experience: A bit boring
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience
Fantastic experience: Great focal point for the upcoming tall ships race.
Positive experience: It is a big square in Sunderland it holds ceremonies here and has a lot to entertain your children. It is a really good place to sit and relax.
Positive experience: Peaceful open area
Negative experience: Underused
Fantastic experience: New to Sunderland, wide open space, water jets come out of ground entertaining kids, just of shipbuilding in Sunderland
Fantastic experience: Fab
Positive experience: It's Sunderland.
Positive experience: Perfect for sitting to eat your lunch
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and peaceful spot
