It was great to get the help from Travel to Fairs helping me to find a suitable hotel for a group of 5-6 people attending Ambiente 2024. We were late in arranging how many would go and always adding more people but Jack Turner and his colleagues solved all our needs fast and with a remarkable patience. I recommend Travel to fairs to everyone travelling for work.

I will give you feedback later as regards Gulf food exhibition 2024.
Best regards

Price / quality ration very good, spacious and clean room. Breakfast simple but more than enough. Nice lobby and friendly staff. Only negative point is the noise at night in the rooms facing the street, very difficult to rest. I was lucky to face the interior areas but my colleagues had trouble sleeping.

Good afternoon Ellie,
I had a phone call with our guests this morning, and they were extremely satisfied with their accommodations.
We are not going to attend any other fairs at the moment.
Thank you very much for once again for your support.
Best regards,
Sanne Ferro

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your email, it’s a pleasure to be in contact with you.
Thanks for your suggestions, my colleagues were satisfied by the stay at Ibis Hotel, everything was good.
In case of future needs, we will contact you.
Thanks and best regards
Laura

Hotel was good and all went okay with my trip.
Facilities were clean and staff was friendly.
Only issue was that its my first time in Munich and it was confusing for me to get to the hotel but that wont be the issue next year.

Dear Ben,
The fair was very successful and I really liked the hotel where I stayed with my colleague. It was perfect, right next to the subway and only 15 minutes away from the book fair.
I will use your services again for sure, thank you for making the experience so enjoyable.
Best regards,
Cristina

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.
