Hello Mr Turner,
we would like to thank you for the excellent recommendation of the Best Western Hotel der Fohrenhof * * *.
The stay was pleasant and we really appreciated the restaurant's cuisine: the opportunity to have dinner in the hotel was providential given the long travel time of just 15 km separating the hotel from the fair (45-60 minutes).
For us the exhibition was successful and we have already signed up for the next edition in 2026: any possibility for you to find a more convenient solution? Better if reachable on foot or well connected by public transport.
Thank you and best regards

Dear Christine,
Thank you for email. Everything went well during our stay. The hotel allowed early check-in. Room is new and clean, but is too small, and the hotel is located in good location as it is convenient to public transportation and walking distance to the old town. Only few points, it's a bit noisy surrounding(from the road), especially at night. The room does not seal and not well sound protected. With the room rate it would be good if the hotel served BF. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Pisit C.

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

Dear Megan,
First of all, thank you for your service in short notice, obviously was my mistake for starting to search accommodation to late, but nevertheless you was on desired level of professionalism.
Regarding hotel, hotel as it is, was correct, but location in industrial zone, and lot of trucks which passing by windows was unpleasant experience, so I would not recommend this hotel for this price to no one, but I am aware of moment which we choose to make reservation in Cologne .
Regarding next IDS, it is a good idea, if we don’t have to pay nothing in advance, then yes, you can make some reservations for similar rates, but with location near city center or Koelnmesse.
Thanks once again, and stay in touch.
Kind regards,
Predrag Treskanica
