SAID ABOUT US
Anna Laamanen, Producer, Finnish National Gallery
Working with Donkey Hotel on the Hugo Simberg’s World -virtual exhibition was rewarding and inspiring.
It was important to me to find a partner who approached the virtual exhibition primarily from a user experience perspective – and Donkey Hotel proved to be an excellent choice. Their strong professionalism and careful approach to the presentation of art enabled a novel, engaging and immersive experience that does justice to Simberg’s art.

We started working with Donkey Hotel in 2019. Ever since we have been very satisfied with the quality of work and the communication with the team has been flawless. Our trips around the World together recording theatre plays have been memorable, and we have always been able to count on the team to deliver their best.
We look forward to collaborating on new productions in the future!

It has been a pleasure and an enjoyable experience collaborating with the production team of Donkey Hotel.
From the very beginning, the team impressed us with their professionalism, adaptability, and reliability. The collaboration was seamless and timely; they were not only punctual and responsive but also incredibly supportive, always ready to adapt to our evolving needs and timelines.
Their clear communication and commitment to quality greatly contributed to the success of the final product. It felt more like a creative partnership than a service engagement, and their dedication truly made a difference.
We sincerely appreciate their efforts and look forward to future opportunities to work together.
