Reviews
The room service was also unacceptable. The rooms were not vacuumed, and there were insects present. On top of that, housekeeping made only one of the beds, my friend’s, while mine was left completely untouched. This shows a lack of attention to detail and incomplete service, which is simply not acceptable in any hotel.
Overall, the experience left us feeling unwelcome and dissatisfied. We expected basic cleanliness, consistency, and respectful treatment, and unfortunately none of these standards were met.
At the reception, I was greeted by a female staff member who seemed far more interested in talking to her colleague than in helping me. When I finally got her attention, she appeared irritated that I was even there. To put it mildly, she was rude, dismissive and spoke to me in a very cold and harsh manner. She seemed completely uninterested in being helpful, which made the whole situation uncomfortable and very unprofessional – especially when arriving tired late at night.
When I finally got to my room, things only got worse.
The room was not cleaned at all – it was clearly dirty (as shown in the pictures). On top of that, the room was very small and had an extremely tiny window facing directly into the neighboring building, which was right next to it. There was no privacy and hardly any natural light.
Overall, a very bad experience and a terrible start to my stay. The combination of rude service and a dirty, depressing room is simply unacceptable – especially for a hotel that presents itself as a place of quality.
