This was a very nice hotel and would consider staying again in the future. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were adequate and clean. The hotel is located near the subway station as well as the larger metro station at the Duomo. It was easy to get to the station and get around the city when necessary.

Update
The new official dates for Abf's latest edition are February 11th to 15th, 2026 in Messe Hannover.
Abf – A Brief Introduction
Abf is the perfect event for you to learn the newest trends in the world of travel, sports, and camping and increase your visibility among professional visitors and end consumers. Germany has one of the best-developed travel and camping cultures in Europe, so Abf gives you access to an enthusiastic audience. Attendance is in the tens of thousands, and the last edition almost hit 92,000 visitors in total. In comparison, there were only about 700 exhibitors at the exhibition centre. That is more than enough to do some market research, study competitors and sell your products and services.

There are five zones at Abf – travel and holiday, bicycle and outdoor, caravanning and camping, auto and accessories, active and fit. Altogether, they cover the entire value chain for the travel and leisure time sector. You have access to travel destinations and packages, as well as equipment and accessories for you and your car.

Thank you for you email. Have you tried to call me? Is Tom still on vacation?
I was very satisfied with Nobu Barcelona. Rooms were nice and breakfast was ok. Staff was also friendly. I have nothing to complain about.

Dear Ellie,
Indeed, our overall satisfaction was great as it was very close to the fair (walking distance 10 min max), with a decent breakfast and 24-h available reception.
The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy although it would be perfect if there was a table and chair. We got a free room cleaning service for staying every 4 nights.
The hotel was very close to the train station, and to a very big mall which has Carrefour and a food court. Easy check out as well.
Have a great day ahead,
Best regards,
Dimos Maligiannis

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.
