Tom Many thanks for your e mail. I have left some feedback with the hotel but I thought the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was usefeul & the food was excellent. In terms of location it was perfect. I would definitely recommend the hotel for future stays. 5 stars from me & if it is good enough to accommodate both Robbie savage and Howard Webb then it was good enough for me. In terms of your service you provided it was excellent and hassle free – it takes the stress out of looking for hotels. Are you a partner for the accommodation side of DSEi as we will probably look to exhibit in 2017 – I would love to stay at the hotel again but recognise that you can only book maybe 10 – 12 months in advance ?
Regards Scott

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.

I'm not positive how I stumbled across "Travel to Fairs Limited", but I'm so glad I did. A simple request for traveling advice turned into a fantastic planning experience. My first point of contact (Via telephone) was from Ms. Ellie Stone. From that point forward I worked solely with her. My plans were extremely complex and Ellie was there for me the entire time. Flying from the United States, traveling to four separate cites in three European countries seemed daunting. After a few questions and some conversation, Ellie was able to give me multiple hotel options in each city. Ms. Stone even divided each hotel by their amenities. (Included breakfast/bars/public transport etc.) In addition to her thorough help with hotel accommodations, Ellie also booked three (3) separate flights for me. Germany to Denmark to Poland. For each city/destination, Ellie offered no fewer than 3 options for accommodations. Same for my flight options. Each destination had three choices. Different airlines and different departure times so I could manage my travel easily. The communication between Ellie and myself was excellent. With the time change between us, emails worked perfectly. Ellie was very attentive to my needs and responded to my questions/inquiries quickly. On more than a few occasions, when I called her office, she took the time to answer me right away. I would love to extend my gratitude and genuine "thanks" to Ellie. Dare I say... she made this experience fun. 5 STARS !!! Her company should be grateful to have her working there.
