A great help from Ellie. She really was very careful with our trip. The hotel is more a guest house that a hotel, but for our needs was perfect - in a quiet area, near to the tram station, near to a good restaurant. We got the boarding pass in time and everything was ok. Thank you!

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your email.
I used the below trustpilot link to give feedback about you and Travel to Fairs.
Some feedback from my colleagues regarding the hotel:
Nice, but basic hotel (no bar for example)
Rooms good
Breakfast good
Check-in: ok, but not the most polite
Advance payment for parking although number of days were not clear yet
In general it was okay but they liked the hotel they stayed at in 2023 better 😊
Thank you again for all your assistance.
I will contact you again when I receive new request for future travel plans.
Kind regards.
