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

Dear Ellie,
Motel One was very appreciated by my colleagues, but it’s really early for us to consider any options for next year.
We will likely start to make the necessary arrangements during Summer.
Kind regards

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!
Clean and comfortable hotel, with a good breakfast. Excellent connectivity to the show by Metro. Only 12 Euros for a 3 day ticket.
