On January 2nd around 7:00 PM, I arrived at Comwell Copenhagen to stay for one night. I hadn’t made a reservation, but I checked Booking.com and the hotel’s own website beforehand, and both clearly showed that there were still plenty of rooms available. I also saw that the parking garage had free spaces.
When I arrived, the receptionist (young woman, approx. 18–25) told me they “only had the expensive rooms left.” That was simply not true. At that exact moment, the regular rooms were still available online, even on their own website. Then she claimed that Booking.com “might not be up to date.” Sorry, but that’s nonsense. I worked in hotels for 9 years and these systems are up to date. And again: their own website showed the same availability.
On top of that, who are they to decide what is “expensive” for me and what isn’t? I clearly said I had no problem paying for a more expensive room. That’s when she suddenly started arguing and making it difficult. I even told her I would pay immediately. Still, everything was being blocked for no logical reason.
Then I asked if there was space in the garage. She claimed there was no space available, while I had already looked in the garage myself and there were clearly open spots. Same pattern again: saying no, while reality shows otherwise.
Then I mentioned I was traveling with a dog. She said dogs were not allowed. That was also false, because there was literally a dog walking in the lobby. And the website clearly states that dogs are allowed. I have a small dog and I was fully willing to follow any rules, but I was immediately rejected.
This entire experience made me feel extremely discriminated against, and I have never experienced anything like this at a hotel before. Everything about it felt like misleading information, unprofessional behavior, and someone simply trying to get rid of me. Absolutely not recommended.
