What Hotel Herzog lacked in room size, it more then doubled in customer service. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay during the K-show. The only issue we had was the very small bathrooms, difficult to use.

About the event
Update
Craft, Hobby + Stitch International 2025 will be held as a live trade exposition at NEC Birmingham. The hosting date for the event is set for February 23rd to February 24th, 2025.
A Brief Introduction
CHSI – Craft, Hobby + Stitches International – enjoys a leading position in the craft and hobby industry in the UK, and it is known as the country’s number one creative craft show. Editions tend to bring in over 6 000 buyers from all over the country and Europe on average. Those are specifically good numbers when you count that there are only 200 exhibiting firms on the show floor. If that sounds like a smart business investment, then you need to travel to the NEC in Birmingham, UK for your dose of sales opportunities.
An Industry Profile
The focus of CHSI is predominantly connecting exhibitors with buyers and as such it exists more as a procurement platform, which sees over 100,000 different products showcased under one roof. The trade fair offers the full breadth of products within craft and hobby – papers, beads, fabrics, instruments, clays, dough materials, painting supplies, and paints. Adding another layer to the experience is the busy support program. The Insights Hub is where you can discover educational resources aimed at running a successful business and new market trends, with workshop sessions running for a total of 50 hours.

Many thanks to Mr Tom Parker from GoFair throughout the whole process of searching for a suitable hotel. The hotel is located perfectly good- just 10 minutes walking up to the Messe, or several minutes by train. The interior layouts are also very good. The rooms are spacious, comfortable bed, shower room etc...A good room service. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast that really should be improved.

It's a budget hotel do not expect much, they provide clean room but small room size. The hotel not far from Messe Duesseldorf by car but if you want to take public transport between the hotel and Messe Duesseldorf it's not convenient. But if you prepare to take taxi so it's not far from the place about 15 minutes

A great help from Ellie. She really was very careful with our trip. The hotel is more a guest house that a hotel, but for our needs was perfect - in a quiet area, near to the tram station, near to a good restaurant. We got the boarding pass in time and everything was ok. Thank you!

Thanks for everything and will call you again the next time we travel for business. Rob.
