Our trip to the EMO Hanover fair was successful, overall it was a great trip with lots to see and do in Hanover.
We were very satisfied with the accommodation, although we were initially looking for a hotel, we actually preferred the apartment accommodation to that of a hotel.
The service we received from Jane was GREAT.
From the moment Anton sent the request for accommodation, we received a number of accommodation options within our price range.
We have received prompt detailed responses to all the questions we had.
The payment process was simple and easy.
The location of the accommodation was perfect, a nice quiet neighbourhood with easy access to trains for transport and a number of restaurants within walking distance.
I will definitely recommend Travel To Fairs to anyone looking for accommodation when travelling abroad to attend Trade shows.

Hi Megan and Ben,
I would like to thank you for our booking and making our stay super amazing at Mitico! They are so very helpful, made everything so comfortable for us and most certainly you can recommend this hotel to other wheelchair users! We made some recommendations to a lady there, I think it may have been Laura about the bathroom which could use a little improving.
Once again, thank you for you the help offered regarding everything!
For next year I would like to start sourcing for 5 people (1 wheelchair user) as this year because the bookings were so late, we were all around Bologna and the taxi fairs were insane.
Something for us to keep in mind!

Hi Tom,
Hope all is well.
Just wanted to let you know that our crew had a great stay at the Radisson Blu in Hanover, and therefore we would very much like to re-book for the next edition of Eurotier, Nov. 11-15 in 2024.
Do you have any idea when would be a good time to secure our booking for 2024? Our experience is that the hotels near Hannover Messe start to fill up 18 months in advance.
Thanks and hear from you.
With kind regards,
Nathalie Melis

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
