Our visitors for the event


Dear Brian,
Thank you for all your help in arranging accommodation for our Travel Award Winners. It was very well organised by you even when additional night's accommodation was requested. All of the guests were happy with the hotel and had no complaints.
We would be looking to book again with you in the future!

Hello Edward,
Thank you for the follow up.
We really appreciated your service and your reactivity so we will not hesitate to recommend you to others.
We will certainly participate in Biofach 2024.
Best regards,

The hotel was really really great and was located in a nice area and the place in general.

Dear Tom,
The service of Go Fair (your service) was excellent, I would really like to work with you again in 2017 (next Offshore). The people who will go to this fair would like to stay at Skene House Whitehall again, if you could manage this in the future, this would be great. (I don´t really know if Skene House will be exclusively offered by Munroe´s).
Kind regards,
Michaela Dohmen

A very good service from George.

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

Michelle made my job so much easier with her quick responses, patience and professionalism. I was sending 3 people to Anuga at the last minute and her help in finding lodging at a reasonable price, good location and quality hotel was outstanding. You have a winner with Michelle! She's definitely management material.

Tom is great! He always got back to me right away with the best prices!

Convenient location to the Messe Duesseldorf and to the Airport. Next to the KAMPS bakery who opens at Sunday morning.

The hotel was fine thank you, the location especially was perfect for the fair.
Definitely somewhere we would consider for next year’s fair.
Once you have details for next year please let us know
