Dear Megan,
First of all, thank you for your service in short notice, obviously was my mistake for starting to search accommodation to late, but nevertheless you was on desired level of professionalism.
Regarding hotel, hotel as it is, was correct, but location in industrial zone, and lot of trucks which passing by windows was unpleasant experience, so I would not recommend this hotel for this price to no one, but I am aware of moment which we choose to make reservation in Cologne .
Regarding next IDS, it is a good idea, if we don’t have to pay nothing in advance, then yes, you can make some reservations for similar rates, but with location near city center or Koelnmesse.
Thanks once again, and stay in touch.
Kind regards,
Predrag Treskanica

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.

The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.

Dear Tom,
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for your message.
We were very satisfied with the STAYERY Frankfurt Sachsenhausen. The rooms were great and the location worked very well for us. It took us around 20 minutes by car to reach CPHI in the morning, which was perfect.
The only very small downside is that our rooms were not all located close to each other – only 2 out of 4 colleagues had rooms next to each other. This is not a major issue at all, more of a small detail, but I am mentioning it as feedback.
I will try to complete the questionnaire later today.
Regarding your question about preliminary rates for next year, as far as we know, the 2026 edition of CPHI will be held in Milan, not in Frankfurt – which is why I am not sure I fully understand the proposal to review hotel rates for the same hotel next year. Could you clarify this point?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

Hello George,
Thank you for your follow up call.
Am glad to note that they were all pleased with both hotels. They said the hotels were clean and service was good. They particularly liked the location and the restaurant of Hotel XII Apostel Albergo. The only downside they mentioned to me is the weak wi-fi connection. But overall they were much satisfied.
