Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.

Hi my name is Phillip from the Medit Field Marketing team. We stayed at the Leonardo Hotel during the IDS, and the condition was great! The room service, hospitality, room conditions. We will be participating in the IDS again and would love to stay at this hotel again. Looking forward to meeting you again!
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.

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
