Been staying this hotel for few times. The room reservation was very prompt and convenient. Ms Christine Clark has been assisting us with the room reservation and her service is very efficient. Will definitely recommend to other friends on their services.

Good morning Tom,
Bauma went well and the hotel was really nice and very well located! We will certainly give positive feedback.
Regarding next Bauma we would like to see the prices for Hotel Hoelzer Braeu but, since the next edition will be in three years, we need maximum flexibility regarding changes and cancellation.
We would also like to see other options so that we can figure out the various offers.
Thank you very much,
Have a nice day

Hello Megan,
DSEI was great. So many people and a lot of meetings. Yes it was great..
And I would like to tell you that cooperations with you was excellent!! Many thanks for everything what you did for me and also for my colleagues from CSG.
Now I dont know if we want the same hotel for the next edition.
The best thing on the hotel was, he is so close to exhibition centre. But if you will find something in the same price and also so close to exhibition – I dont care.
Megan I want to tell you one more – big thank you, what you did for us.

It's a budget hotel do not expect much, they provide clean room but small room size. The hotel not far from Messe Duesseldorf by car but if you want to take public transport between the hotel and Messe Duesseldorf it's not convenient. But if you prepare to take taxi so it's not far from the place about 15 minutes

Hello George,
Motel One Koln-Waidmarkt was a very good option for us.
