Good morning Tom,
Bauma went well and the hotel was really nice and very well located! We will certainly give positive feedback.
Regarding next Bauma we would like to see the prices for Hotel Hoelzer Braeu but, since the next edition will be in three years, we need maximum flexibility regarding changes and cancellation.
We would also like to see other options so that we can figure out the various offers.
Thank you very much,
Have a nice day

Hi Tess,
must say thank you for yet another excellent service regarding our hotel bookings for CPhI. I always feel safe when you are taking care of our bookings, and your flexible and pragmatic approach to our back and forth is truly highly appreciated. Looking forward to working with you again in 2016.

Dear Tom,
Hope you are well.
I wanted to say thank you for your helps for the hotel reservation during A+A 2023.
I would like to know, if you can do any price offer to us for 2025, if we use again your agency.
We are very satisfied with your service, but as we are hiring more people and getting bigger group, if we can reduce the cost per night, it would be grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Nick Lloyd is very helpful, and friendly. He replies to questions quickly and informatively. We did not end up booking anything due to other reasons, but I would recommend Nick Lloyd to anyone wanting to book accommodation for conferences.
Hi Megan, thank you for your great support. Everything was fine in the hotel we booked.
Dear Megan,
Apologies for my delayed response—I was out of the office until yesterday.
Everything went very smoothly, and we truly appreciated the location of the hotel. I would definitely be interested in receiving some rates for the next Vitafoods event. It would be great to have a few options to consider.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,

Nice house and nice location to fair ground.
It’s very convenient that the supermarket is just across the street.
The host is also nice to help for transportation to train station.
Only disappointed that the electric kettle is not clean.
