All went well. The hotel rooms were very small, but the staff friendly and the breakfast was very fine.

Dear Megan,
Great news.
Comments on this hotel was that the location is perfect, design is interesting, but the Internet connection was horrible. Having in mind that we have all been travelling for a business purposes, this was a real issue. Anyway, thank you for your support and patience in working with us, it was a really big group to handle. 🙂
Over the next couple of weeks, we will review our participation in Hannover and decide on our next show. I will keep you updated once we have more information about our upcoming trip to Hannover.
Best regards,

Fantastic service from George and Hotel with good location, asked for balcony and he had a perfect room with all services.

Dear Christine,
The Novum Hotel Madison Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof was fine: good service, large rooms and bathrooms.
A bit old-fashioned and a 3 star hotel in my opinion rather than 4 stars.
Breakfast was fine.
Best regards

Service in finding room in the location was first class. Hotel met all the requirements we desired.
Will be using you chaps again!

Mark was very helpful and always there for us which was very appreciated! Even if the hotel wasn't the best one, it was close to the show: we could walk from there.

Hello Megan,
Thank you, all is good here.
Everything was fine in Frankfurt. The hotel was nice, and service was good. Everyone liked it. Thanks again for your support.
For now, have a nice weekend.
Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards

Dear Mark,
Many thanks your email. Nothing to say about your service, perfect ! Appreciate very much your good communication. I was very happy to have for the first time a hotel very close to the ANUGA (which gave me time to do running daily after the exhibitionJ) The hotel was good. It is a pity however that no meal was served (except the breakfast) while the Ibis hotel close to Ibis Budget was serving meals at dinner. I was also disappointed to book for a taxi at the hotel that never came. Fortunately, I went by foot to take a taxi outside in order to avoid missing my train.
All the best to you.

The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.

Hello Ben,
Everything went well at Titanic Comfort Mitte during IFA Berlin 2023

Hello Mr Turner,
we would like to thank you for the excellent recommendation of the Best Western Hotel der Fohrenhof * * *.
The stay was pleasant and we really appreciated the restaurant's cuisine: the opportunity to have dinner in the hotel was providential given the long travel time of just 15 km separating the hotel from the fair (45-60 minutes).
For us the exhibition was successful and we have already signed up for the next edition in 2026: any possibility for you to find a more convenient solution? Better if reachable on foot or well connected by public transport.
Thank you and best regards
