Hi Megan,
I like it a lot, near by the fair, with a link to center, very cozy.
Best Regard
Michael, thank you so much for your support, your service is amazing.
The Hotel is not close to Medica.
Regards,
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.
Hello George,
Everything went well at Odalys City Ferney Geneve (4) and we would like to stay there again for Vitafoods 2024.

Hi Giancarlo,
sorry if I take advantage of your personal number, but I want to tell you a big thank you in private because in a short time you have organized everything for me. You know I was anxious when they asked me to find the hotel for my colleagues. Then when you wrote me the first time, I started to calm down. Finally I even felt pampered. You are really special in your work.
I will never stop thanking you!
