Our visitors for the event


Hi, dear Tom,
Thanks a lot for Your help and proceding the process all the time. Of course, the difference in service quality, in comparison with the hotel in Germany, it is felt, the level is lower and the service staff - surly. But good news are that the exhibitors needed hotel only during the nights as the day-time was very busy (only weather could be better.....).
We were very satisfied with Your service, Tom. Next time we’ll try to use Your services.
Wishing You a great success in Your business!!!
Kind regards,
Vija

Dear Megan,
Regarding the hotel, it was ok, some rooms were very small like mine but it was clean. Some other colleagues were happy because they had big rooms with a nice view. The staff was friendly and very useful.

Dear Tom,
As I did not hear anything about the hotel and the trip, I think our travelers were okay and everything was fine.
Thank you for your help with everything.

Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela
