Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for your assistance in arranging the accommodation. Just returned from Berlin and everything went well. Nice and clean hotel with good location near central station. Thank you once again!
The overall opinion regarding Glam Milano was positive. The staff was friendly, the location was great and the service in general good, although not always adequate. The breakfast was average - a little less than expected. The beds were comfortable.
All was good with the hotel and we enjoyed it. No problems at all working with Jane.
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
You are the very best Michelle!!!!!
Thank you! I can’t thank you enough! We are all set!
Thank you again
