Booked 2 rooms in this hotel for 2 nights.
At the reception the receptionist offered us a suite in stead of our booked 2 separate rooms: overbooking! We went up and saw a family room in stead of a suite and refused the offer. Then they sent us to the Monte Carlo Hotel, just 100 metres down the street for the first night. This hotel can be called basic at the most, more a 19th century hotel, but to compensate the difference in comfort, the receptionist offered us a free parking during our 2 days and a reduction on the first night. Manager: invisible...
The morning after our night in the " hotel next door " we took breakfast at the Carmen hotel, which was very good. Our rooms were ready by the time we came back from our city trip ( 6 pm ). Rooms were clean and large, worth the price.
Second night: good bed in a good room and a good breakfast.
We left on Monday and apparently there was a whole new crew at the reception desk. Remarkable: the English of a 4-star hotel reception in a city that lives off tourists is terrible, and that is an understatement. Or maybe they put only ( more or less ) English speaking receptionists at the desk during the weekend?
We got the parking for free as promised, but the reduction for our first night in the 19th century hotel was and could not be put on the bill.
" I know notting from weekend, I start work today ", was the answer of the " hotel receptionist ". Manager: Invisible... Or maybe it was another one too on Monday?
We got our car back after looking for the exit ourselves and a very rude " goodbye " from the Monday "receptionist". After that, we saw that the car was damaged at the back bumper while it was parked in the garage, we saw the damage at the wall behind it, but could not get back into the hotel!
Overbooking, replacement is a 19th century hotel, promised reduction not received, one language staff, car damage, worst check-out ever: NEVER again.
One more thing: I tried in French, German, Dutch and Russian after not being understood in English but the only answer was: " not understand ". How can you give service to your customers if you don't understand what they are asking for?
