We had a great experience at the hotel. The service provided by Megan Moore, from travel fairs, was great. I fully recommend to book hotels with them.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your email.
I used the below trustpilot link to give feedback about you and Travel to Fairs.
Some feedback from my colleagues regarding the hotel:
Nice, but basic hotel (no bar for example)
Rooms good
Breakfast good
Check-in: ok, but not the most polite
Advance payment for parking although number of days were not clear yet
In general it was okay but they liked the hotel they stayed at in 2023 better 😊
Thank you again for all your assistance.
I will contact you again when I receive new request for future travel plans.
Kind regards.

Tom Many thanks for your e mail. I have left some feedback with the hotel but I thought the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was usefeul & the food was excellent. In terms of location it was perfect. I would definitely recommend the hotel for future stays. 5 stars from me & if it is good enough to accommodate both Robbie savage and Howard Webb then it was good enough for me. In terms of your service you provided it was excellent and hassle free – it takes the stress out of looking for hotels. Are you a partner for the accommodation side of DSEi as we will probably look to exhibit in 2017 – I would love to stay at the hotel again but recognise that you can only book maybe 10 – 12 months in advance ?

The team of Travel To Fairs Ltd. has helped me a lot, met my needs (research for an accomodation for my guests, and changes of the last minutes); the hotel, a three stars category 20 minutes from the fair of Trondheim, was very clean and the staff very helpfull and kind.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for your services. We were very satisfied with the hotel.
The only problem was the lack of parking - we had to use offsite car parks. We need to take this into account in our future arrangements.
Pozdrawiam / Best regards
