All was fine at the end and we didnt had any problems. There were some delays with the bookings but Ellie fixed them.
The hotel was good and clean and breakfast good. We enjoyed the service provided by the staff.

Hi Jack,
The vicinity of the hotel was excellent and the people were friendly enough and the room was clean.
I did miss no air conditioning and there was only 1 power point which was nowhere near the desk which seemed strange.
The service from Jack was perfect and he kept me informed all the way so if I come across again I will use you guys again.
Regards,

Hello Tess,
All went fine, we enjoyed the hotel due to its walking distance location, but the only downside was the breakfast.

Our trip to the EMO Hanover fair was successful, overall it was a great trip with lots to see and do in Hanover.
We were very satisfied with the accommodation, although we were initially looking for a hotel, we actually preferred the apartment accommodation to that of a hotel.
The service we received from Jane was GREAT.
From the moment Anton sent the request for accommodation, we received a number of accommodation options within our price range.
We have received prompt detailed responses to all the questions we had.
The payment process was simple and easy.
The location of the accommodation was perfect, a nice quiet neighbourhood with easy access to trains for transport and a number of restaurants within walking distance.
I will definitely recommend Travel To Fairs to anyone looking for accommodation when travelling abroad to attend Trade shows.
