Mr. Phil Saddleton
Yes we are back from our trip and happy for you to pass on the below regarding Ashleys Gardens
We could walk from the venue to the Messe Dusseldorf exhibition centre which was a big advantage for us. So the location was key and a big tick.
The hotel is of course very old and the rooms are very small with no lift so up 2 flights of stairs with bags for everyone.
Restaurant is popular with the locals and often cannot fit you in for dinner and wont let you charge back to the rooms.
Staff are friendly and breakfast is good.
All the best.

Dear Megan,
The Interzum fair went very well. We didn't have any problems with the hotels; everything went very well.
I don't have any trade fairs at the moment, but if one comes up, I'd contact you regarding hotel reservations.
We were very pleased with the service received from your company, and specifically from you.
Thank you very much for everything.
Kind regards

Hi Michelle
Thanks for the follow up on our ProWein 24 trip.
The Mercure served its purpose for us as we were only there a couple of nights - and didn't really spend too much time at the hotel.
We understood hotel was a bit further out (and this was reflected in the pricing) - only slight negative was length of time it took for a taxi to arrive. Would have hoped hotel had a contract with taxi firm to ensure guests don't have too long to wait once ordered. We learned from our initial mistake and ensured we had pre-ordered a taxi for return to airport.
Positives:
Helpful staff
Great humour from barman!
Clean, basic rooms
Negatives:
No safe in room
No iron in room
Length of time for taxis to arrive
Overall, Michelle made the booking process very simple and was a great help with my questions and area information - thank you!
Should we require accommodation for events going forward we'll be in touch.
Thanks

Dear Ellie,
Indeed, our overall satisfaction was great as it was very close to the fair (walking distance 10 min max), with a decent breakfast and 24-h available reception.
The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy although it would be perfect if there was a table and chair. We got a free room cleaning service for staying every 4 nights.
The hotel was very close to the train station, and to a very big mall which has Carrefour and a food court. Easy check out as well.
Have a great day ahead,
Best regards,
Dimos Maligiannis

Dear Tom, Dear Tess,
Thank you for your service, all went well. The only remark is that the hotel does not dispose of many parking slots, so we might reconsider it for next year.
Thanks
Best regards,

All went well. The hotel rooms were very small, but the staff friendly and the breakfast was very fine.
Mr. Dean Thorlakson
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.
