Dear Megan,
The hotels booked for our group (Arya Stadium and Madanis Liceo) were both perfect for our needs.
CPhI Worldwide - 2023

Quick response and adequate handling when booking needs to be adjusted. Happy that the search for hotels during trade fairs is taking out of our hands to save valuable time.

The 2 night booking was misplaced by the hotel, so after 30 mins checking our vouchers we were forced to rebook for one night at reception and pay again. We then booked another hotel for our second night. Very poor hotel, very cold, decor very much in need of repair. Breakfast ok.
Because of the mixup, Go Fair refunded us in full and dealt with us quickly and professionally. Definately service 'above and beyond' Very happy to recommend Go fair and use them again.
