We had the pleasure of staying at TRYP Lisboa Oriente during a business trip. Megan helped us so much and made sure that all our partners were well taken care of. I only have positive feedback and highly recommend Go Fair.

Hi Tom,
FIE in Paris is just finished.Our stay in Marriott Hotel was good and we are start on thinking to next edition in Frankfurt.
I have seen the "Cotadines City Center Hotel" which is very closed to Messe and the price is not so high.
Can you send us an offer, considering the same number of rooms as done in Paris?
Waiting for your answer,
best regards
Manuel Macchi

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

My colleagues were satisfied and the position of the hotel was fine to reach the fair.
It wasnt a top standard hotel but for the price we paid and the quality we received we are okay with it.

Nice house and nice location to fair ground.
It’s very convenient that the supermarket is just across the street.
The host is also nice to help for transportation to train station.
Only disappointed that the electric kettle is not clean.
