Hi Albena,
The trip to the fair all went very well. I have had very little feedback, which is a good sign because I only hear when things go wrong.
However, I did ask. The hotel was basic (not luxurious) but in a good location for transport to the fair and they were happy with it.
Thank you for all you help and patience with us in making the bookings.

Dear Tom,
thank you for your email. The hotel was quite good but the service was not honestly professional, staff was not so friendly and the rooms were a bit poor. We had to change the personal code (to use elevators, enter in the room, parking etc..) 3 times as we had 3 reservations/each. Sometimes my colleague found the room not clean and in the same condition as in the morning.
However the location was good and my general feedback is positive. I thank you very much for your support, you are really professional and quick in replying.
Thank you again for your cooperation,
Best regards

A great help from Ellie. She really was very careful with our trip. The hotel is more a guest house that a hotel, but for our needs was perfect - in a quiet area, near to the tram station, near to a good restaurant. We got the boarding pass in time and everything was ok. Thank you!

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!

We are recommending theTravel2Fair to reduce the fair stress. Also, Mr. George assisted us from the beginning of the project to the end. We reached them anytime that we needed.

Dear Ellie,
Greetings to you! Hope you’re doing fine.
Yes, my boss had gone for the event. It was a successful trip for him.
Initially, I believe there was some confusion with the hotel booking on the hotels part but it was sorted out later.
Currently no plans yet, however, if we do need help we will be in touch.
Thank you to your team and Ms. Ellie for her support.
