Everything was okay. Nice staff. Clean room, very quite place, no street rush, perfect breakfast. Not enough parking spaces but it was not a problem to park in the street few metres from hotel. Perfect hotel for few nights for business trips. Not far from Messe Stuttgart - only 10 minutes by car. Without any traffic.

Hi Tom,
Good exhibition.
The hotel as expected, had a little bit of trouble getting in, door codes were sent to wrong phone number, but fixed when calling the reception. So nothing to complain about.
Thanks

I had been looking for a hotel for our employees for the Agritechnica fair for a while.
By chance I came across the traveltofairs site and got in touch with George.
Very nice and clear contact and quick answers made sure that a hotel was booked very quickly.
Definitely more than satisfied and also the hotel was definitely okay! I will definitely contact traveltofairs in the future.

Good day Tom,
Yes, we have checked out of the H4 Hotel Hannover Messe and we have already successfully returned home! Now there is a lot of work to do with the contact we gained during LIGNA.
As for the hotel, everything was great! Rooms were very clean, beds were soft! We really liked the pool and sauna which was available for the guests - it was a great relaxation after a long day at the exhibition! The only minor issue we ran into was during the check-in. For some reason our bookings was marked as to stay in rooms with one double bed. Thankfully upon our arrival the hotel was not full and employees of the hotel were quick to resolve the mishap with the beds!
Thank You for the great service and we will for sure keep in touch for LIGNA 2021!
