Dear Megan,

The hotel all in all is good. Rooms are fine with good beds and bathrooms. Breakfast is very good for a hotel of this size. A small thing, but it would have been good with more English speaking TV channels.

It is ok to use public transports to the exhibitions ground, but it would have been even better to have a similar hotel along U78 north of the city centre when exhibiting at the Dusseldorf Messe.

Best regards,

Ingrid/Group Marketing Manager

Hi Simon,

Lovely to talk to you earlier on. Thanks for your assistance here, we didn’t have any problem with the rooms/bookings which is all you can hope in these cases!

We’d be in touch for 2020 as I can’t confirm how many people will attend and on what dates.

Thanks,

It was great to get the help from Travel to Fairs helping me to find a suitable hotel for a group of 5-6 people attending Ambiente 2024. We were late in arranging how many would go and always adding more people but Jack Turner and his colleagues solved all our needs fast and with a remarkable patience. I recommend Travel to fairs to everyone travelling for work.

Thank you for reaching out! I'm pleased to inform you that the hotel at IFFA was wonderful, just as it always has been. We had a great experience there.

At the moment, we don't have any upcoming events in Frankfurt. Nonetheless, I'll definitely keep the name of the establishment on my list for future reference.
