Thank you for a wonderful book about the Grand Hotel Royal in Budapest! Me and my husband enjoyed our stay in one of the suites in late October! The book really added up to our full experience of coming home to old central Europe...
I will be sure to join you for news, and looking forward to inspiration to
visit new hotels.

'I really enjoy the way your books tell an era of the history of the cities through the history of the hotels.  You have a great storytelling style in your writing.  It is as if I were listening to you, over drinks in the lobby bar. Your books help fill in the blanks in the  history for me.  I appreciate that they aren't just big hotel sales brochures or fluffy junk history.' A.R. USA

About our book Hotel Metropole Hanoi

Dear Mr. Augustin,
With great pleasure I've read the book about the Sofitel Metropole hotel in Hanoi, which I've bought in the hotel during our stay (me and my husband)
last August. We visited Vietnam for the first time. The hotel made our holiday worthwhile. Included in the book was a postcard which I could sent
in but this card is very nice that I want to keep it for memories. I hope I can create a free membership via this route.

Dear Sir or Madame,
I recently stayed a wonderful week at the Metropole in Hanoi. It was a fabulous hotel. The service was extraordinary and the ambiance was perfect.
I purchased the book "Sofitel Metropole Hanoi" at the hotel. It's a nice book and enhanced my enjoyment and understanding of the hotel. I read the whole book while in Hanoi. I still love the book and am contemplating purchasing the leather bound edition. Please let me know if my correction is in error.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Klose
