Dear Tom
Your mail was unfortunately in the undesirable box !
I do really thank you for your help, mainly before our travel because it was very very helpful for me.
The hotel « Zum Deutschen Eck » was perfect for what we wanted and a special mention for the person at the reception : he was very nice and competent.
The hotel was clean and very arranging so perfect for all our next K fairs for sure !
I wish you a nice day and will not hesitate to call you when we will have a need.
Best regards,
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your e-mail. I would have contacted you in any case to thank you for finding the hotel. The Grand Hotel Mussmann was excellent in every respect. The location was convenient for the tram and the bedrooms were quiet, even with the window left open at night. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, light, and tastefully decorated. For me, the combination of tiled and wooden floors was a bonus, much preferred to carpets. There was a conveniently-placed large desk on which to work by the window and WI-FI available free of charge. The breakfast was very good and the staff friendly and helpful. Marks – 10 out of 10! We would like to stay in this hotel the next time we attend the Hannover Show in April 2017; (we exhibit there on alternate years). Many thanks to you for finding just the right hotel for us. I would recommend your service to others without hesitation.
Kind regards,
Janet Dixon
