I had a very disappointing experience with the receptionist at this hotel. There was no service mind at all. I had to wait for 25 minutes even though there were only two people ahead of me in the check-in queue. During that time, there was no greeting, no “Welcome,” no “Please wait a moment,” and not even a simple “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
The woman named R. was especially unprofessional. She didn’t greet me or smile, and I strongly felt she was being discriminatory toward ASEAN guests. She was extremely friendly and warm to a guest who spoke Italian, spending a long time chatting and smiling with them, but when it was my turn, she checked me in in just three minutes—coldly and without a single kind word.
Why did she let me wait for so long without even a basic greeting? Where is her hospitality? I’ve been traveling in Switzerland for a month and have had wonderful experiences at other hotels where the staff were kind and welcoming. This hotel was the complete opposite. It was the only negative part of my trip.
I truly love Switzerland and always appreciate how warm and respectful the people are. This one experience at Hotel Admiral really stood out in a bad way and unfortunately affected my otherwise perfect trip.
