Upon my actual arrival at the hotel, none of the requests I had made via email four days prior had been fulfilled. When I asked for some rooms to be changed, the reception staff frowned and impatiently asked which rooms. After organizing the necessary information and requesting keys for three rooms, the staff member expressed annoyance, questioning why this information was only being provided now. Each time a change was made, I made sure to express my gratitude. After distributing room keys to all group members, I returned to request a wake-up call, only to be told the service was not available. Requesting a change to my own room to a different floor, the staff member visibly showed annoyance, mumbling about why I was making the request only now. At that moment, feeling as though the roles of guest and staff had been reversed, I expressed my desire for service befitting a 5-star hotel. When I apologized if I had upset them but pointed out that their tone and expression were unnecessarily rude, the staff member did not apologize but instead reiterated that they had fulfilled all my requests. I am baffled as to how a hotel providing such service could be rated 5-star. I had stayed here before and encountered issues with the reception not having proper information from the booking department, which they tried to justify. However, unlike this male staff member, a female staff member on that occasion eventually cooperated with a more pleasant demeanor, leaving me less frustrated.
I will certainly be advising my company against using this hotel in the future. The hotel's location is also not ideal, with nothing of interest nearby and requiring a car to reach the city center. In the mornings, opening the curtains reveals a view of seagulls flocking outside the window.
For the service one star is too much for this hotel!!
Bémol sur la piscine, l'endroit n'est pas chauffé et l'eau est froide pour les frileuses comme moi !
Nous n'avons pas essayé le restaurant vus les avis mitigés !
Lamentável
