Morning Tom,
Hein is back in the office after a very successful business trip. He was very pleased with the hotel and has asked I must keep the name for his next trip to the IWA show in 2018. Once again thanks for your help and friendliness with the booking of the accommodation.

City Apart Hotel
The hotel in MEDICA 2014 is very good, good location. My colleagues had a good trip in this hotel. And Mr. Mark Hansen is warm, always answer quickly and usefully, we cooperated well. Hope for future cooperation.
Mr. David Gillespie
The Novotel was a comfortable, clean, modern and efficient location for attending the Ligna show.
Depending on the group attending the Ligna show, another option would be Hannover Old Town which is a short walk further and adds a historic German/European experience. Most evenings we walked to this area for dinner from the Novotel.
Regards,
Dave

Dear Christine,
Thank you for email. Everything went well during our stay. The hotel allowed early check-in. Room is new and clean, but is too small, and the hotel is located in good location as it is convenient to public transportation and walking distance to the old town. Only few points, it's a bit noisy surrounding(from the road), especially at night. The room does not seal and not well sound protected. With the room rate it would be good if the hotel served BF. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Pisit C.

We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful. its nice to see smily faces when you start your day and when you return tired. The only thing that i can tell is the issue with the breakfast that while each time after i sent your email the issue was taking care the next day existed again. there was no update between personel and system.

Hotel Sander
Tess was very helping and it was a pleasure to work with her. The hotel was very well located as per my request (few minnutes walk from the IBC exhibition), altough the rooms were not very clean and the hotel in general was a little bit scruffy, breakfast was very poor and price was quite high (200€ per night). Also, the room price was not refundable when we had to cancel one night, even if we informed the hotel 6 days before the booking.
Anyway, Tess offered a very good service, she followed up every step of our booking, and we really appreciated it. We surely recomend the Go Fair Ltd service ... By the way, we absolutely do NOT recommend Hotel Sander in Amsterdam.
Thanks Tess for your support!
