Yes we are back from our trip and happy for you to pass on the below regarding Ashleys Gardens
We could walk from the venue to the Messe Dusseldorf exhibition centre which was a big advantage for us. So the location was key and a big tick.
The hotel is of course very old and the rooms are very small with no lift so up 2 flights of stairs with bags for everyone.
Restaurant is popular with the locals and often cannot fit you in for dinner and wont let you charge back to the rooms.
Staff are friendly and breakfast is good.
All the best.

Dear Anna, The Hotel Monte Christo - Koln was great ! Flights was all ok. Hotel Very clean and neat. Hot inside as much as you wish. Very nice hosting service ! The Hotel receptionist man, Swen was very very nice to me, more than helpful and was a real pleasure to deal with him. Alexandra, his colleague also she was very nice, even tough I only deal with her for several hours, before I left the hotel , back to Romania. I know I might not have been so easy to deal person at times, but you was patient to me. I appreciate all your efforts to find the best deal based upon my requests. Thank you again for all your support ! Have a great day !

Hi, dear Tom,
Thanks a lot for Your help and proceding the process all the time. Of course, the difference in service quality, in comparison with the hotel in Germany, it is felt, the level is lower and the service staff - surly. But good news are that the exhibitors needed hotel only during the nights as the day-time was very busy (only weather could be better.....).
We were very satisfied with Your service, Tom. Next time we’ll try to use Your services.
Wishing You a great success in Your business!!!
Kind regards,
Vija

Dear Megan,
I hope you are doing fine.
Thanks for asking: Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona was great. Although I wasn't there in person, I can share what my colleagues reported: It was a fantastic trade show, we had many visitors and a lot of good conversations.
Your support regarding the organization has been a big part of our success. Our team really liked the hotel, and your coordination with the hotel restaurant for the menu was very helpful to us. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your great support.
We look forward to receiving your offer and continuing the good collaboration with you!

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,

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
