We stayed at this hotel from 18–20 July. Unfortunately, our experience fell well short of what you would expect from a four-star property.
Our shower had no hot water. On the first day we had to be given access to a different room just to wash. By the second day the problem still hadn’t been fixed, no one had updated us, and the staff on duty weren’t aware of the ongoing issue. We had to explain everything again and ended up trying two more rooms before we could finally shower.
To be clear, the staff we dealt with during our stay – including housekeeping – were lovely, apologetic and genuinely tried to help. The real disappointment came afterwards: despite emailing the hotel (as instructed by reception staff) three times, the only reply I ever received was a brief message saying the manager will deal with it next week. That never happened, and all further contact was ignored. Even when Hotels.com chased the matter up on my behalf, the hotel flatly refused to offer so much as an apology, let alone a refund or gesture of goodwill.
The lack of hot water was inconvenient enough, but the complete refusal to engage with my complaint afterwards was what really left a bad impression. A four-star hotel should be able to manage basic facilities and, at the very least, communicate with its guests when something goes wrong. Sadly, this hotel failed on both counts.
