The overall opinion regarding Glam Milano was positive. The staff was friendly, the location was great and the service in general good, although not always adequate. The breakfast was average - a little less than expected. The beds were comfortable.

Original Hôtel and very nice.
We would like to thank Mrs. Ellie Stone for her perfect assistancy. She was very supportive, always accessible during whole process.

Dear Tom,
As usual, you helped us a lot to solve the changes in our bookings. It was an excellent job.
As for the Hotel Flandrischer Hof - it is a good hotel with normal services, biggest advantage is the little distance to the fair area.

Dear Tom,
thank you again for your care and professionalism. For sure I'll address only to you for all future events as well. As for the hotel - it is located very good, the interior layouts are also very good. The only minus there is extremely poor breakfast. Last time in Arosa Hotel, and even in Crown hotel they were much better, being at the same time enough plain.
Thank you again for your help!
Regards,
Irina

I recently used Travel to Fairs to help me search for a hotel for a group of colleagues attending Bauma 2022 and my whole experience was very positive. Michelle Adams, my agent gave some very good suggestions and options for hotels near to the venue and in the centre of Munich. Michelle's communication with me was excellent and always very helpful. I would highly recommend t2f to anyone booking for an event.

Dear Tom,
We all had a good stay at Motel One in Dusseldorf. Clean, simple rooms but good showers and beds. I stayed one more night which was paid by a cancellation from one of us at the first night. Very reasonable. Am on the way back and we had a succesfull Anuga.

Martha
