Hello Mr Turner,

we would like to thank you for the excellent recommendation of the Best Western Hotel der Fohrenhof * * *.

The stay was pleasant and we really appreciated the restaurant's cuisine: the opportunity to have dinner in the hotel was providential given the long travel time of just 15 km separating the hotel from the fair (45-60 minutes).

For us the exhibition was successful and we have already signed up for the next edition in 2026: any possibility for you to find a more convenient solution? Better if reachable on foot or well connected by public transport.

Thank you and best regards
