Good Michelle,
Excuse me for didn't get back to you sooner. I was busying in tracking my luggage over past days due it wasn't come back along with me as expected until 10/31 late evening. The B Hotel in Barcelona is great, I would stay there again if I visit Barcelona again.
Right now, I haven't decide if to visit the next CPhI in Milan, however, if you have info for hotel/s in there, please feel free to provide me info in that regard, I will contact you again once I decided to visit the CPhI Milan in 2024. Thanks in advance to your help.
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
Lisa

Hi Megan,
Milan went really well and the hotels were comfortable.
The hospitality that we received was also quite nice. So thank you for your efforts and the coordination.

Dear Megan,
The hotel all in all is good. Rooms are fine with good beds and bathrooms. Breakfast is very good for a hotel of this size. A small thing, but it would have been good with more English speaking TV channels.
It is ok to use public transports to the exhibitions ground, but it would have been even better to have a similar hotel along U78 north of the city centre when exhibiting at the Dusseldorf Messe.
Best regards,
Ingrid/Group Marketing Manager

Dear Michael,
I am thank you, hope you too J
Nice to e-meet you.
About Hotel Marconi, Ihave a couple of things to point out:
1)Mrs. Straccia and Mrs. Fantaccione had rooms not good enough for a 4**** Hotel (they were really small, not so nice and below the ground floor…). Mrs. Straccia asked to change it and the Hotel did it. Honestly, the Hotel asked us to pay the full amount one year in advance, we did it but we expected to have the best rooms, and the Hotel was big with lots of rooms);
2)the temperature in some rooms (also Mr. Pagliuca ones) was quite cold.
By the way, aside this (even important), the staying was quite good.
About Megan, she is great as usual
For CPhI 2025, we have already booked through you and paid the “Frankfurt”.
I wish you too a great day!
Kind regards.

Dear Tom,
The trip went quite well. We only had one issue because our team was late for the check in on Friday and they couldn’t reach the hotel by phone.
There was just an answering machine in German and that was not useful, but they had no problem checking in in the end.
They’ve told me the hotel was nice and everything ran smoothly so thank you for all the support.
Best regards
