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.

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.

Hello, Thanks to travel2fair company, we could manage our accomodation in Florence, a city we had no prior knowledge about. The hotel was great, the staff was helpful. The view and the location of the hotel was amazing. Also travel2fair staff was also very careful and helpful. They kept checking on us prior to our trip and after the trip to see if we have/had any problem. I am so satisfied with the service I got.

In my opinion it was a great location for us. Staff was courteous and nice. Rooms were spacious. Breakfasts were very good with lots of choices. There was a. It of outside noise that bothered the odd person but nothing that was unbearable.
I would definitely stay there again if we were to go back to Hannover.
But that’s just my 2 cents worth.
