Good Michelle,
Excuse me for didn't get back to you sooner. I was busying in tracking my luggage over past days due it wasn't come back along with me as expected until 10/31 late evening. The B Hotel in Barcelona is great, I would stay there again if I visit Barcelona again.
Right now, I haven't decide if to visit the next CPhI in Milan, however, if you have info for hotel/s in there, please feel free to provide me info in that regard, I will contact you again once I decided to visit the CPhI Milan in 2024. Thanks in advance to your help.

Dear Michael,
I am thank you, hope you too J
Nice to e-meet you.
About Hotel Marconi, Ihave a couple of things to point out:
1)Mrs. Straccia and Mrs. Fantaccione had rooms not good enough for a 4**** Hotel (they were really small, not so nice and below the ground floor…). Mrs. Straccia asked to change it and the Hotel did it. Honestly, the Hotel asked us to pay the full amount one year in advance, we did it but we expected to have the best rooms, and the Hotel was big with lots of rooms);
2)the temperature in some rooms (also Mr. Pagliuca ones) was quite cold.
By the way, aside this (even important), the staying was quite good.
About Megan, she is great as usual
For CPhI 2025, we have already booked through you and paid the “Frankfurt”.
I wish you too a great day!
Kind regards.

Dear Tom,
The service of Go Fair (your service) was excellent, I would really like to work with you again in 2017 (next Offshore). The people who will go to this fair would like to stay at Skene House Whitehall again, if you could manage this in the future, this would be great. (I don´t really know if Skene House will be exclusively offered by Munroe´s).
Kind regards,
Michaela Dohmen
