Hi, My name is Phillip from the Medit Company. We have been long working with Travel2Fairs Company for Hotels&Meeting rooms and Megan was always willing to assist us. We had gone through lots of changes in schedules and number of rooms and sometimes I felt sorry for Megan for requesting many times but she always tried hard to meet our needs. Also, Travel2Fairs deals with the customer's request in a very prompt timely manner. I always appreciate your service Megan from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a great day and would love to do business with you in the near future. Thank you!

Hello Megan,
Yes, I have been told by colleagues that the hotel was very good in terms of facilities, rooms and breakfast. The hotel was a great success, so close to the fairgrounds that they could go for a short walk. Thank you very much for your great choice 😊
Thank you!

Dear Tom,

Good morning,
our team spent one week in Hotel Manin in Milan for Eicma 2015. Service, rooms, assistance really outstanding. Many compliment to Go Fair to meet our several request always on time - great organization and staff. Hotel Manin and Go fair will be the reference for next year.
Thank you!

Dear Tom,
The fair went quite well.
They told me that their stay at the Aparthotel Lenau was very good and that they didn't have any major problems. The only drawback was being on the 4th or 5th floor without an elevator (especially for carrying suitcases), and during check-in, some of the terminals weren't working, so it took quite a while, but otherwise, it was in a great location, very easy to park, spacious and clean rooms... Very good.
We are not going to reserve anything for future editions yet, as we are not sure whether we will participate directly or through an agent/distributor.
As soon as we have any needs again, I will contact you, as our experience with you has been very good, with very quick responses and excellent service.
Best regards,
Eli POZO

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.

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
