Price / quality ration very good, spacious and clean room. Breakfast simple but more than enough. Nice lobby and friendly staff. Only negative point is the noise at night in the rooms facing the street, very difficult to rest. I was lucky to face the interior areas but my colleagues had trouble sleeping.

Our visitors for the event
Dear Tom,
My parent enjoyed a lot..they said the hotel was fantastic and they would like to book the same hotel for next year. Do you think will be possible??
Thanks a lot.

The location of the hotel was great since it was all walking distance. Facility was not as nice as I expected but the maintenance was good enough. However, although I booked for the twin bed, I got the room with a double bed. Nevertheless, again, the location was great. There was a supermarket right next to it and a nice cozy cafe across the street. I would stay at the same hotel again.

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,

The hotel is not really very close to the fair and rooms are quite small. But the level is however high and the staff is really nice and helpful.
