The operations of this hotel are an absolute mess and the attention is very bad.
We were thinking of staying here for 2 weeks, but wanted to try 1 night first. Despite how beautiful the hotel is, I couldn’t wait to get out of here after 1 night.
Where do I start with the issues?
- No signage about where to park when you arrive to the area, so we ended up parking in a different garage (30€/day). They claim to have valet, but I only saw someone there once during our entire stay.
- I asked how much parking costs per day and the guy seemed offended that I’d even ask, then said 50€/day. Once checked in, I scanned the hotel QR code which shows that it’s only 32€/day. What a shame that they try to scam their guests!
- Absolutely no mention of World of Hyatt status (I’m a couple nights away from Globalist), and no other benefits given for having status.
- Breakfast wasn’t included in our stay and when I asked how much it was, the receptionist seemed completely gobsmacked that I’d even ask the price and there was a few seconds of awkward silence. Completely unprofessional — obviously we can afford the breakfast, but we won’t accept extortionate prices especially without even knowing them beforehand.
- We asked for detergent and when they brought it, he rung the bell and then literally 3 seconds later just opened up the door, clearly in a rush. Not only did he nearly walk in on my wife in her bathrobe, he also hit me with the door due to his impatience and lack of respect for guests’ privacy.
- No pool, spa, or anything like that.
- Bad, small gym
- There’s no extra lock (deadbolt) on the doors.
- Tried to order room service several times over a 30-minute period and they never picked up
- No check in allowed before 3PM (which is fine), but when we came back after 3 they couldn’t find our bags at first (just a couple backpacks) — other five star hotels we’ve stayed in already would’ve had our backpacks waiting for us in the room.
Also, another word of advice to some workers here: a lot more people understand Russian than you might expect; watch what you say, especially when talking about guests.
Edit: they made a mistake (deliberate or not) and my night wasn’t credited to World of Hyatt. Never seen this happen before, so I think this hotel is just being scummy
