Good morning,

Thank you very much for your services. We were very satisfied with the hotel.

The only problem was the lack of parking - we had to use offsite car parks. We need to take this into account in our future arrangements.

Pozdrawiam / Best regards

Ruby Lotti Hotel Hamburg
SEATRADE EUROPE

Dear Megan,

Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.

I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.

Med venlig hilsen/best regards

Aparthotel Lenau
EMO Hannover

Dear Tom,

The fair went quite well.

They told me that their stay at the Aparthotel Lenau was very good and that they didn't have any major problems. The only drawback was being on the 4th or 5th floor without an elevator (especially for carrying suitcases), and during check-in, some of the terminals weren't working, so it took quite a while, but otherwise, it was in a great location, very easy to park, spacious and clean rooms... Very good.

We are not going to reserve anything for future editions yet, as we are not sure whether we will participate directly or through an agent/distributor.

As soon as we have any needs again, I will contact you, as our experience with you has been very good, with very quick responses and excellent service.
