Dear Megan,
I’m so sorry not to have reverted to you before. Everything were ok, and the guests found the Hotel very good and in a very good position in respect of Innotrans. Please let me also thank you for your professional assistance even for the last minute request. Thank you very much for the service rendered and I’ll keep in contact for future events like the Innotrans.
Kind regards,
Roberta
Hi George
Apologies for the late reply.
Am doing well thank you and am glad to meet you on line.
Yes, everyone is back from the show and this is the 2nd time that the group has stayed at Le Marceau Bastille. With that I would say that they continue to be satisfied with the accommodation particularly the location of the hotel. For info the 1st time they stayed there was in 2022 .
As always we appreciate very much the assistance that George and the team has extended continuously . Truly glad for each time that I arrange with your group for our hotel requirements, the details are well looked after.
The next event will be on Oct 2025 for the Anuga 2025 in Cologne . Would note that George and myself are already set with the accommodation of the EP group ie. Hotel has been picked and deposit have been paid.
I believe above points sums up our experience both with the hotel and T2F’s service.
Wishing you a great day
Kind Regards,
Ruth

Hi Christine,
Thanks for everything, sorry for the confusion. I still own you a feedback from Hamburg. The Apartment Hotel - The location was not that bad, considering you are going there for the SMM show not for holiday. I had a subway station 10-12 min walk distance which was very useful , 3.20 Euro /day I was going back and forward from the exhibition center. - At the Hotel .base floor, they have a small restaurant and bar, but near the hotel at a 15m min range walk, you can find something to eat like, Pizza`s, McDonalds, Chinese Restaurant, Turkish Restaurant, German beer house with brezzels and sausages, etc - The room was a decent one, you can feel is an old Hotel by the building construction and the furniture vintage alike that gives you the impression of the `90`s, but they were clean, and looking good. - The room cleaning was ok, and also the guys from the front desk were quite polite and helpful. - Breakfast area was large which I like it the most, you did not feel crowded having many tables where to sit. The diversity was ok, nothing special, but looking clean and lots of personnel available for the coffer, table cleaning/arranging, etc - The down points are that rooms do not have A/C , the single room, has two small beds with separate mattresses put together, so if you want to roll over you will have a gap in the middle, so anyway you will use only one single bed. They say that the tap water is drinkable in Germany , but a hotel that respects its status, should offer complementary water bottle every day for the ones who prefer to stay safe, there wa sonly one 1L bottle at the first day and that`s it, I mean it costs 1Euro , you can add it to the room costs. The bathroom was only with liquid soap, no shower gel or shampoo. This is the most honest feedback you will get…
Best regards
Hotel Mercure - Eschborn was fine. Thank you for booking it for us.
Dear Megan,
We were very thankful for your service and the great support from the day of booking until the last day at the hotel. The hotel was 10/10. Thank you very much!

It was great to get the help from Travel to Fairs helping me to find a suitable hotel for a group of 5-6 people attending Ambiente 2024. We were late in arranging how many would go and always adding more people but Jack Turner and his colleagues solved all our needs fast and with a remarkable patience. I recommend Travel to fairs to everyone travelling for work.
