The service received by Mrs Ellie Stone can only be praised. She is professional, fast handling and 100% engaged in providing prompt and satisfying answers to customer needs and requests. All this in a very pleasant way. As to the hotel I chose, the location was great, the breakfast very nice, the rooms are quiet small, but clean and cozy. Only the bar should be looked at, as there is not much choice, neither in food nor in beverage. All in all a good place to stay during a fair.

Our visitors for the event
Good day.
I´m fine. I hope you too.
Thank you for asking. This is the second time my colleagues stayed at this hotel because of its proximity to the fairgrounds and comfortable facilities.
We knew it thanks to Megan and already accommodated in 2022 during the same fair.
Compared to the previous time I was informed by colleagues that the treatment was not that good.
On the other hand, the treatment with Megan Moore has always been very correct and efficient. I hope to contact her for other alternatives next time.
Light + Building – 2024
Hello Tess,
Excellent service from Travel to Fairs Ltd for our last exhibition (IWA OUTDOOR CLASSICS2018) in Nuremberg, Germany.
Very competitive prices - the fact that you managed to offer us rooms when everything else was sold out speaks for itself!
We'll work with you again in the future.
Kind Regards,
Alrico Quik
Dear Christine,
Thank you for email. Everything went well during our stay. The hotel allowed early check-in. Room is new and clean, but is too small, and the hotel is located in good location as it is convenient to public transportation and walking distance to the old town. Only few points, it's a bit noisy surrounding(from the road), especially at night. The room does not seal and not well sound protected. With the room rate it would be good if the hotel served BF. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Pisit C.
Dear George,

Dear Megan,
Regarding the hotel, it was ok, some rooms were very small like mine but it was clean. Some other colleagues were happy because they had big rooms with a nice view. The staff was friendly and very useful.
Regards,
Céline AVILA-PENELON
We were very satisfied with the service that Ms. Megan gave to us.
Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for your message and for all your help during the trip. We had a very good journey and really appreciated your support.
At the moment, we do not yet have confirmation regarding our attendance at the next edition of the event. However, if we move forward with the arrangements later on, we will certainly let you know.
Best wishes,
