We were lucky to be the only event in the venue, so we could use the whole kitchen and breakout area (in addition to the Room 8 we booked). This breakout area was well received by the participants, who could easily communicate and network in a free-roaming mode between the lectures, and also provided ample photo opportunities for our photographer. We were at the limit of the Room 8 size (85 people), but the sound system and the aircon system worked well, and we received a lot of positive feedback from the participants. Event team (Radu and company) were extremely helpful, and arranged tea, coffee and snacks exactly on agreed schedule. Radu was always available for any questions, and provided everything we asked for immediately - from things like additional hanger and pens to hot water station for tea. Radu was very positive and supportive, and was incredible pleasure to work with. The whole venue is extremely clean and well maintained, and designed in a nice and professional fashion. The venue overall is very modern and the facilities are new and fresh, which gave a very polished look to both room and the breakout area. Catering was fantastic, as we had multiple breaks and were worried there won’t be enough for 85 people - but there was a great choice and there was something new during every break. People complimented the quality of the hot desserts in particular. We are also very grateful for the attention and support that we got before the event, as we visited venue twice and asked a lot of questions to Ronan and Radu. They both were very professional and supportive. Overall, we are extremely happy with the venue as across all aspects that we think of (venue, team, catering, atmosphere), everything was perfect. Thank you so much and looking forward to getting in touch again!
Access to the coffee machine is constrained, so we could not serve lots of coffee during the lunch breaks - the machine is located in the corner of the kitchen, and we could have at most 4 people around it. Tea was much more accessible, as it was placed on the counter in the middle of the breakout area. Also, super minor - it was not intuitive to distinguish still from sparkling water bottles only by cap colour, and a few people noticed that water tasted strangely (because it was sparkling). But these moments were both very minor and team resolved all issues immediately.
