Hi George
Apologies for the late reply.
Am doing well thank you and am glad to meet you on line.
Yes, everyone is back from the show and this is the 2nd time that the group has stayed at Le Marceau Bastille. With that I would say that they continue to be satisfied with the accommodation particularly the location of the hotel. For info the 1st time they stayed there was in 2022 .
As always we appreciate very much the assistance that George and the team has extended continuously . Truly glad for each time that I arrange with your group for our hotel requirements, the details are well looked after.
The next event will be on Oct 2025 for the Anuga 2025 in Cologne . Would note that George and myself are already set with the accommodation of the EP group ie. Hotel has been picked and deposit have been paid.
I believe above points sums up our experience both with the hotel and T2F’s service.
Wishing you a great day
Kind Regards,
Ruth

Hotel was good and all went okay with my trip.
Facilities were clean and staff was friendly.
Only issue was that its my first time in Munich and it was confusing for me to get to the hotel but that wont be the issue next year.
