Hello Simon,
Thank you for calling, and thank you for sharing your contact!
We are satisfied with the hotel, clean rooms, friendly staff and good breakfast. Not far from the exhibition area, and a quiet place. Everything was handled smooth, good service.

Dear Tom,
As the operating and marketing manager of our new office abroad, sometimes one just doesn`t have enough time to take care of small details that come back to haunt you at the very last minute. Even though, I was not familiar with your company before and I had never worked with an external company either, you remained reassuring and have kept your word. Within a very limited time frame and with only a few emails you were able to put me and 10 of my colleagues in a good hotel, with excellent service and near the city center... I have already send you the dates and locations of our next fairs! It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again.

Dear Tom,
Many thanks for your patience and support while we drew together all the spekars for our conference with their checking-in and checking-out dates. Everything went off exactly as planned and everyone was very happy with the hotel you recommended.
Thanks again,

Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela

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.

Hi Tom,
Thank you fro getting back to us. We had a great time at the Park Plaza Vondelpark. Service was good and the rooms were clean. The only two thinks we were quite surprised about was that there was almost no light in the rooms and that there were no parking spots exclusively for the hotel. Thank you very much again for your great support and flexibility! We are looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Best regards,
Kathrin Sauter Head of Marketing & Communication
