Dear Mark, Sorry to reply this late! I have just got back to Taiwan after this long business trip – the K was very successful and thank you for asking. I would love to take a while to give you mine, and my Teammates’ feedback about the accommodation. Overall impression: Very good value for money! Pros: 1. Great location – it took 2 minutes to walk to the metro station and then 20 more minutes on the train to get to the fair. 2. Lots of restaurants and shops around – very convenient! 3. Rooms were big and clean, and we had plenty of space for our suitcases. 4. Comfortable beds, central heating and big bathrooms. 5. We will definitely consider it for the next K! it fulfilled most of our requirements! Having said all that I know you would like to know about the cons. I do not try to attack you, as you don’t run the hotel, but for your reference and future customers you should be aware of the down side of the hotel; 1. There was no internet connection in the rooms – I think it was the biggest problem for us, as we had to receive emails and work in the lobby – the only place with the internet connection. You must know that the lobby was in a different building across the street! So this was not what I had in mind when ordering the rooms – Wi-Fi connection in the room is the most important thing when searching hotels for myself and my Team. The lobby was also a bar and a restaurant at the same time so it was inconvenient for us and other patrons to work there. The staff of the hotel did nothing upon my request to fix the connection in at least some of our rooms. 2. Great location – unfortunately it comes with a price – the area was busy and loud every night and for the whole night, the windows didn’t block all of the noise of breaking glass and drunken singing. As I said at the beginning it was good value for money, and we would still chose this one! Knowing it was loud and there was no internet would not stop us from ordering it, but it would give us heads up and chance to mentally prepare. I hope my feedback was helpful and you will communicate with the hotel the need for Wi-Fi.
Thank you! Best Regards, Emma TRACZ Regional Manager
Dear Megan,
I hope you are doing fine.
Thanks for asking: Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona was great. Although I wasn't there in person, I can share what my colleagues reported: It was a fantastic trade show, we had many visitors and a lot of good conversations.
Your support regarding the organization has been a big part of our success. Our team really liked the hotel, and your coordination with the hotel restaurant for the menu was very helpful to us. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your great support.
We look forward to receiving your offer and continuing the good collaboration with you!

HI Christine,
I have just returned from my trip as I went to London after the fair. The hotel was great. Really close to the fair and easy to get to each day by walking.
We did really struggle to get taxis each night during the fair from the hotel to the city centre as there were no restaurants around the hotel. The hotel restaurant was good but expensive and you didn’t want to eat there each time.
Kind regards,
Jackie
Thanks Tom.
The reservations were fulfilled properly, and the hotel was excellent with one exception: no shower curtain/door in the bathroom made for difficult showering. Our next trip to Europe is for wire 2016, www.wire.de, in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Best regards,
Mike McNulty
One of my colleagues tried to check in after 11pm using the self-service system it found is booking, asked him to enter my address, and then when pressed to confirm it said it couldn’t process my check-in. This happened to another colleague arriving late due to flight delays -the system is unreliable/faulty, which is a particular issue when the check-in desk is unmanned. Both had to use the hotel's emergency number. Overall the hotel was clean and service was ok.
Dear Megan,
The hotel was fine.
Very modern and Good connection with public transport to the fair.
