Hi Tom,
Thank you fro getting back to us. We had a great time at the Park Plaza Vondelpark. Service was good and the rooms were clean. The only two thinks we were quite surprised about was that there was almost no light in the rooms and that there were no parking spots exclusively for the hotel. Thank you very much again for your great support and flexibility! We are looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Best regards,
Kathrin Sauter Head of Marketing & Communication
Hi Megan, Many thanks for your support, even in this difficult time. You have shown full engagement and we are completely satisfied. Thanks again. I am looking forward to continue working with you. Many greetings
Hi Tom,
Hope all is well.
Just wanted to let you know that our crew had a great stay at the Radisson Blu in Hanover, and therefore we would very much like to re-book for the next edition of Eurotier, Nov. 11-15 in 2024.
Do you have any idea when would be a good time to secure our booking for 2024? Our experience is that the hotels near Hannover Messe start to fill up 18 months in advance.
Thanks and hear from you.
With kind regards,
Nathalie Melis

Great service, great people…
All went well, we liked the location of the hotel, right in the historic center of the city with many restaurants around, no problems at check in!
Thanks for your service. All was good. The location was very close to the central station and city center.
Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful. its nice to see smily faces when you start your day and when you return tired. The only thing that i can tell is the issue with the breakfast that while each time after i sent your email the issue was taking care the next day existed again. there was no update between personel and system.
Everything perfect. Thanks for your service
Dear Simon,
the clients feedback is very plain and simple: they say that everything went fine. :-)
Thank you very much
Dear Ellie, Thank you for your assistance. The Hotel you suggested was fine for my son and collegue, Szabolcs Török. He was satisfied. It would be a good hotel for him for the next Frankfurt Book Fair. Best regards on behalf of Szabolcs, too, Margit Gruber/DS Budapest Kft
