Reviews
I’d like to share a very negative experience with this hotel, which occurred during our arrival on April 18, 2025, around 00:30 a.m.
About an hour before arriving, we called the hotel to check if a room was available and were told we could come. After a long and exhausting journey in the rain and darkness, we finally arrived with our small child. The night receptionist welcomed me and asked me to fill out the check-in form. I told him I’d be right back after getting my family and luggage.
However, when we returned to the reception and he saw we had a 7-year-old daughter with us, he started yelling in front of her that children were not allowed, and we had to leave immediately because the room was only for two people. I explained that our daughter would sleep in the same bed with us and that I was willing to pay the full amount for an extra person – even double – if needed, as it was past midnight and we had nowhere else to go. He responded aggressively and insisted we leave.
The situation was extremely unpleasant and upsetting – our daughter didn’t understand what was happening. We didn’t want to escalate things further, so we left.
Luckily, we noticed another hotel across the street with the lights on and decided to ask if they could take us in. We were greeted by a kind young man with excellent English, who said they had only one room with a double bed available and asked if we were okay with our daughter sleeping between us. Exactly what we had planned all along.
We’re incredibly grateful to Fönix Hotel and their wonderful staff for their warm welcome, kindness, and professional service.
We’ve traveled across half the world, and this has never happened to us anywhere else. I truly hope this was just a case of one person’s failure, not the general attitude of the hotel – but unfortunately, after such an experience, we cannot recommend this place.
