The service was excellent and nothing to complain about. I really appreciated the patience and kindness shown by Ms.Ellie from traveltofair who assisted me at any time.

Our stay in this hotel was pleasant, we were well located in the city center and close to the public transportation to reach the fair venue. The help and support of Travel To Fair was excellent as usual, I am looking forward to work again with them for CPhI 2024. I.Carrara

Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards

Hi Michelle
Thanks for the follow up on our ProWein 24 trip.
The Mercure served its purpose for us as we were only there a couple of nights - and didn't really spend too much time at the hotel.
We understood hotel was a bit further out (and this was reflected in the pricing) - only slight negative was length of time it took for a taxi to arrive. Would have hoped hotel had a contract with taxi firm to ensure guests don't have too long to wait once ordered. We learned from our initial mistake and ensured we had pre-ordered a taxi for return to airport.
Positives:
Helpful staff
Great humour from barman!
Clean, basic rooms
Negatives:
No safe in room
No iron in room
Length of time for taxis to arrive
Overall, Michelle made the booking process very simple and was a great help with my questions and area information - thank you!
Should we require accommodation for events going forward we'll be in touch.
Thanks
