we used this service for 3 years in a row and it has always been great, effective and fast: we have been allowed to change some names of the guests and to book further rooms without any delay.
The hotel selected had a great position near to the station stop and just 15 minutes by train from the Fair. The rooms were cute and cleaned and the personnel at the desk well prepared and quick.
We are very happy and satisfied.
Dear Tom,

Dear Tom,
As the operating and marketing manager of our new office abroad, sometimes one just doesn`t have enough time to take care of small details that come back to haunt you at the very last minute. Even though, I was not familiar with your company before and I had never worked with an external company either, you remained reassuring and have kept your word. Within a very limited time frame and with only a few emails you were able to put me and 10 of my colleagues in a good hotel, with excellent service and near the city center... I have already send you the dates and locations of our next fairs! It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again.

Tom Many thanks for your e mail. I have left some feedback with the hotel but I thought the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was usefeul & the food was excellent. In terms of location it was perfect. I would definitely recommend the hotel for future stays. 5 stars from me & if it is good enough to accommodate both Robbie savage and Howard Webb then it was good enough for me. In terms of your service you provided it was excellent and hassle free – it takes the stress out of looking for hotels. Are you a partner for the accommodation side of DSEi as we will probably look to exhibit in 2017 – I would love to stay at the hotel again but recognise that you can only book maybe 10 – 12 months in advance ?
Regards Scott

Hello Tom,
As far as I am concerned, you provided in a very diligent matter, efficiently, … the booking services The hotel was rather well located, great breakfast, a kind of cosy room.
Thanks for the support.
Fabien.
Hello Christine,
The hotel location was perfect, very close to Gare du Nord in a good area. However the hotel was very old and need some refurbishments. In the photos, it looked much nicer than it was in real life.
If you remember, the rooms were without bed and breakfast, but finally the double rooms for 1 night had breakfast included and the other 2 not. When I asked the reception about it, he was not very kind in his answer and told me I made different reservations. I said that it was all done together by an agency.
We hope the feedback may be useful.
Best regards!
Dear Tom,
Thank you for your e.mail. Yes, we checked out on Sunday morning and I confirm that everything in the Novum Bulevard in Stuttgart was OK. Thank you for your help in finding us a good accommodation for the fair.
Best Regards,
Vincenzo Colasante
Dear Simon,
the clients feedback is very plain and simple: they say that everything went fine. :-)
Thank you very much
Excellent support! All requirements, requests and urgencies were fulfilled. The support was excellent, both by email and by phone. 5 star service that we recommend without a doubt. Traveling like this was a peace of mind.
Ben and his colleagues have been of great help. It took us time to finalise our request and Ben kept in touch regularly without "dropping out" which was very helpful. It was sometimes difficult to find the time to focus on the booking for EUROTIER in the middle of short term priorities. Ben was brilliant at keeping me on the ball. Ben and his colleagues made things easy and were always helpful in their feedback and advice. The house found house 7027 was a very good solution. The landlord was really helpful and the house was very comfortable. Thank you very much for your service.
Michelle made my job so much easier with her quick responses, patience and professionalism. I was sending 3 people to Anuga at the last minute and her help in finding lodging at a reasonable price, good location and quality hotel was outstanding. You have a winner with Michelle! She's definitely management material.
