Reviews
The booking was made through Booking.com, where I have been a loyal customer for years and regularly book accommodations for my clients. Due to the unexpected closure of airspace in Dubai, we were physically unable to travel and check in — a situation completely beyond our control.
Despite clearly explaining the circumstances, neither the hotel nor Booking.com was willing to assist with a rebooking or provide any form of refund. There was no flexibility, no understanding, and no effort to help resolve the issue.
Very frustrating and disappointing experience, especially during a force majeure situation.
Apart from the distance to the main central, location is ideal. Metro is walking distance from the hotel and near by restaurants.
a) Upon check-in, we were told that our booking price via agent was not relevant, and they had charged us with a higher rate and excluding breakfast. We had to pay the higher price as the receptionist insisted that the booking price was incorrect. The receptionist was extremely rude.
b) After making the payment, the receptionist refused to provide us the official receipt. However, this issue was resolved after we managed to talk to her manager on the next few days.
c) The room was dusty, not clean, poor bed quality and poor sound proofing. The location was also not very strategic.
Definitely not going to book this hotel again if I ever travel to Amsterdam.
