The room had a seriously broken shower. The drain is so slow that when the shower is used at normal water pressure, the water backs up and floods the entire bathroom. This is a basic plumbing failure that makes normal use of the bathroom impossible.
To make matters worse, the hotel scheduled a repair appointment for 1:00 PM. I adjusted my day to be available. No one showed up. There was no communication, no explanation, and no follow-up. Promising a repair and then simply not appearing is unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for guests’ time.
This poor maintenance was matched by an equally poor arrival experience. My so-called “welcome gift” was being asked to pay an unnecessary €150 “showing up” fee upon arrival — a charge that was later admitted to be incorrect. Even though it was eventually withdrawn, being confronted with an unjustified fee at check-in is an unacceptable way to start a stay.
Overall, this hotel demonstrates weak maintenance standards, unreliable follow-through, and a troubling approach to guest service. Between broken facilities, missed repair appointments, and inappropriate charges at arrival, the experience was consistently disappointing.
