Thank you for your response, but it misses the entire point of my review. My comment was never about the cost of the coffee or the policy itself; it was about the unacceptable rudeness and unprofessional communication from your staff.
To recap:
1. The receptionist gave permission to get coffee without mentioning a fee.
2. My partner was then shouted across the lobby by the restaurant staff.
3. The receptionist then replied loudly in a very rude manner “I say you can get the coffee but I didn’t say it’s free” these was her EXACT WORDS. It was loud and everyone in the lobby can hear her clear.
Framing this incident as a simple misunderstanding regarding a €3 charge avoids addressing the core issue: a failure in basic customer service training that ruined our entire experience.
Such unprofessional conduct is not appropriate for a five star hotel like this.
Given how the manager’s reply completely missed the entire point, focusing on justifying a small fee rather than acknowledging the unacceptable rudeness, it raises question whether this specific manager is part of the problem with the staff conduct.
Original review:
This review is only towards one lady at the reception (middle age white) she helped us with the check out, nothing too friendly, but following all the procedure which is fair enough, though not what I expect from a 5 star hotel (she didnt even have the courtesy to ask us how was our stay hope everything was good, which I get it from every hotel 3-5 stars) thn we proceed to ask her whether if we can get coffee from the breakfast hall before we go off our day (my partner and I both drink lots of coffee and there is only 3 none decaf coffee in the hotel, and we finished it in the morning before checkout so we would like to have additional coffee), she say yah. Then my partner went to get the coffee but when he get out another lady from the restaurant was shouting across the lobby “Sir sir you dont have the breakfast booking you need pay” thn my partner proceed to ask the reception lady, she very rudely reply “I say you can get the coffee but I didnt say it’s free” this is really unnecessary rude for a €3 coffee coming from a 5 star hotel! Truly our entire experience is ruined by this incident. But everyone else other than this particular receptionist are really really friendly. I hope this review brought attention to the management about your staff management.
