Hello Tom,
Im really sorry for the delay. The trip was fine and the hotel really great.
Just a problem about the room with the twins beds… in fact, the hotel didn’t provide this kind of room so… Thierry and Romain had to sleep in the same bed…
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!
It was definitely a very good choice with its location, cleanliness and comfort. Thanks Megan Moore.
Hi my name is Phillip from the Medit Field Marketing team. We stayed at the Leonardo Hotel during the IDS, and the condition was great! The room service, hospitality, room conditions. We will be participating in the IDS again and would love to stay at this hotel again. Looking forward to meeting you again!

Hello Michael,
Thank you for reaching us. I confirm that we received a very good service from Tom and also from the hotel. We will go back to Nuremberg Toy Fair next year.
The 2 night booking was misplaced by the hotel, so after 30 mins checking our vouchers we were forced to rebook for one night at reception and pay again. We then booked another hotel for our second night. Very poor hotel, very cold, decor very much in need of repair. Breakfast ok.
Because of the mixup, Go Fair refunded us in full and dealt with us quickly and professionally. Definately service 'above and beyond' Very happy to recommend Go fair and use them again.
Dear Jack, good morning!
Thank You for your email.
As I know from my manager, the trip to EBACE23 was good.
All requested services were arranged.
Thank You!
Best regards,
Izolda Petkute
