This was for A+A 2023. Your customer service is very good. Fast, nice and polite. But the price per night seems quite high...

What Hotel Herzog lacked in room size, it more then doubled in customer service. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay during the K-show. The only issue we had was the very small bathrooms, difficult to use.
Dear Michelle,
I would like to thank you for all your support throughout this process.
The hotel was really good, the location was close to the fair.
I look forward to working again at the next events.
Thanks and Regards,
In my opinion it was a great location for us. Staff was courteous and nice. Rooms were spacious. Breakfasts were very good with lots of choices. There was a. It of outside noise that bothered the odd person but nothing that was unbearable.
I would definitely stay there again if we were to go back to Hannover.
But that’s just my 2 cents worth.
Hello Megan,
All is well, and everybody was happy with their stay 😊 Thank you for organizing!
