Hi Christine,
I’ve appreciated your service and in particular your flexibility. We usually don’t know which staff will be attending our exhibitions until very near the time, and your flexibility with this is important to us and much appreciated.
The rate for the hotel was reasonable. It was near the upper end of our budget, but good value I think, considering the following feedback from staff:
“Hotel was fine, rooms were good and had no problems. Only potential issue was the limited parking, but this didn’t affect me last week.”
“Would definitely stay there again. Staff were really pleasant and helpful, food was good and the location was pretty good too.”
“I would stop there again no problem good rooms good food and good location for city centre.”
Many thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,
Rachel
Very good services from George, I will recommend to my colleagues Travel To Fairs.

Dear Tom,
I have already granted 5 stars. We received an extraordinary service and everybody was happy with the hotel.
We can organize the new group of rooms for the next year in Barcelona. If the Eurohotel is available, that is the option to pursue.
I look forward hearing from you, oh by the way. Is George back because I received an email from him. If so, please let’s continue with the planning for next year in Barcelona.
Also, do you have the Aloft Seaport in Boston?. That would be also an option for the SENA next year.
I look forward working with you again.
Have a great week.

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.

The service received by Mrs Ellie Stone can only be praised. She is professional, fast handling and 100% engaged in providing prompt and satisfying answers to customer needs and requests. All this in a very pleasant way. As to the hotel I chose, the location was great, the breakfast very nice, the rooms are quiet small, but clean and cozy. Only the bar should be looked at, as there is not much choice, neither in food nor in beverage. All in all a good place to stay during a fair.
Hi Jack,
I am well, I hope you are, too!
Thanks for checking in with us – everything went great. We will let you know if/when we have made plans for MIPIM 2025 or other conferences.
Have a lovely day!
Kind regards,
