On the first night of our stay, we unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My partner and I had a long day and decided to order Domino’s for dinner. We waited approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for two pizzas.
As we are from the UK and unable to make international phone calls, we assumed the front desk would kindly call our room phone to let us know when the delivery had arrived.
After waiting a long time with no update, we went down to reception ourselves. Despite our order clearly stating our room number and names (which matched the room booking), the pizzas had been sitting behind the front desk the entire time without anyone informing us. When I asked for the order, the staff member simply said, “Here it is, it is probably cold now.” I asked if we could use a microwave to reheat the food, especially as there is a restaurant area for hotel guests, but this request was immediately declined.
When we returned to our room, we discovered that the phone had been unplugged. Although staff claimed they tried calling us, the phone would not have worked — and no staff member made any effort to come to our room to notify us that our food had arrived.
Later that evening, we noticed a Deliveroo driver in the corridor outside our room, which made the situation even more confusing. The same staff member had told us that food deliveries could not be brought to guest rooms, yet this appeared to contradict what we witnessed.
Overall, this experience was frustrating and disappointing, particularly after a long day of travel. Better communication and customer care from the front desk would have made a significant difference.
