I was very happy with my stay at Novum Hotel Lichtburg am Kurfurstendamm***. I'm happy with the standard. It is clean and very well located. And for the price you pay is worth it. Thank you very much. For next edition I will make sure to let you know.

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email. For the Golden Leaf, generally speaking, it is a good experience. There are the tasty apples and free coffee and tea in the lobby. The people in the hotel are very nice. We just complain about the wi-fi in the hotel is not good, I can't use it in my room. I found many guests complaining about it in the reception. But anyway, thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Hello Jack,
The trip was great and the fair was very interesting.
When it comes to the hotel, the rooms were nice and clean and the staff was very polite. It happens that all the rooms we got were family rooms with 4 beds each. So regarding our last minute request for an extra room or bed for 1 person, there was plenty of space to accommodate. I don't know where the communication with the hotel went wrong and they didn't tell you that there was enough room for one extra person.
Regardless, everything else was good.

Yes we are back from our trip and happy for you to pass on the below regarding Ashleys Gardens
We could walk from the venue to the Messe Dusseldorf exhibition centre which was a big advantage for us. So the location was key and a big tick.
The hotel is of course very old and the rooms are very small with no lift so up 2 flights of stairs with bags for everyone.
Restaurant is popular with the locals and often cannot fit you in for dinner and wont let you charge back to the rooms.
Staff are friendly and breakfast is good.
All the best.

Dear Christine,
The Novum Hotel Madison Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof was fine: good service, large rooms and bathrooms.
A bit old-fashioned and a 3 star hotel in my opinion rather than 4 stars.
Breakfast was fine.
Best regards

Hello Megan,
Thanks for your mail, I see you are “monitoring us”, like CIA / FBI …. J J J We have positive feedback about Euro Park Hotel, all went fine, as scheduled. Anyhow, no problems, we decided to confirm in advance and it is OK, it was our decision. Hotel people were good and friendly, rooms clean, hotel in general was OK. Maybe just a little remark: missing real coffee, maybe better coffee maker is appreciated more (the one available was not good…..but this is our taste, maybe others are appreciating).
Keep in touch Megan,
Bye now, Enzo

Jan Hundertmark
The hotel was very nice and very close to the fair and we even had some of our customers staying there which was a +.
The only issue was that it was a bit loud due to other guests in the hotel.
As for Tracy she did her job perfectly and we are satisfied with her.
