Dear Ellie,
Motel One was very appreciated by my colleagues, but it’s really early for us to consider any options for next year.
We will likely start to make the necessary arrangements during Summer.
Kind regards

Hi Megan,
I hope you are doing well.
ISH was a great success, thanks for asking.
Do you already have some preliminary rates? It would be great if you could send them so we can review with the team.
Please also send different alternatives, althought we did like the hotel we stayed in, it’s always to see what options are available.
Thanks a lot for everything.
Have an amazing rest of the day.
Kind regards,
Vanessa Kelk

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.

HI Christine,
I have just returned from my trip as I went to London after the fair. The hotel was great. Really close to the fair and easy to get to each day by walking.
We did really struggle to get taxis each night during the fair from the hotel to the city centre as there were no restaurants around the hotel. The hotel restaurant was good but expensive and you didn’t want to eat there each time.
Kind regards,
Jackie

Many thanks!

Hello George,
Everything went well, Hotel Century (4) is our favourite. For next year we can try something different like Crowne Plaza Geneva.

Dear Tom,
thank you for the assistance with accommodation's booking for our Biofach stay in Nuremberg. Everything went well and we were very satisfied.
Thank you very much one more time.
Kindest regards

Hi,
The average opinion of our people was: The rooms were really o.k., good bed, enough space etc., and there was an easy access to the public transportation. What they did not like was the poor breakfast. Further two of them noticed empty bottles on the room at their arrival, that have not been removed during their whole stay. That's no good room service.
Lily Liu
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email. For the Golden Leaf, generally speaking, it is a good experience. There are the tasty apples and free coffee and tea in the lobby. The people in the hotel are very nice. We just complain about the wi-fi in the hotel is not good, I can't use it in my room. I found many guests complaining about it in the reception. But anyway, thanks for your help.
Best regards.
Yvonne Osterberg
I haven't heard anything from them and I assume everything was great. The service that Mr. Tom Parker provided was excellent.

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your e-mail. I would have contacted you in any case to thank you for finding the hotel. The Grand Hotel Mussmann was excellent in every respect. The location was convenient for the tram and the bedrooms were quiet, even with the window left open at night. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, light, and tastefully decorated. For me, the combination of tiled and wooden floors was a bonus, much preferred to carpets. There was a conveniently-placed large desk on which to work by the window and WI-FI available free of charge. The breakfast was very good and the staff friendly and helpful. Marks – 10 out of 10! We would like to stay in this hotel the next time we attend the Hannover Show in April 2017; (we exhibit there on alternate years). Many thanks to you for finding just the right hotel for us. I would recommend your service to others without hesitation.
Kind regards,
Janet Dixon
