Una noche sin poder dormir y una decepcionante respuesta del manager

2.0

− Nuestra experiencia con el hotel no fue buena debido a una noche en la que prácticamente no pudimos dormir. Durante la noche sufrimos un ruido/zumbido que se repetía aproximadamente cada 5-10 minutos y que nos impedía descansar. Avisamos a recepción y el recepcionista acudió a la habitación en tres ocasiones. El problema es que estaba solo en recepción y tenía que volver, por lo que no pudo permanecer en la habitación el tiempo suficiente para escuchar el ruido cuando se producía. Lo que más nos ha decepcionado, incluso más que el propio problema, ha sido la respuesta posterior del manager. A pesar de haber explicado lo ocurrido y de haber enviado grabaciones del ruido, se nos comunica que no se encontró ningún ruido y que no se ofrecerá ninguna compensación. Consideramos que el hecho de que el ruido no se detectara durante una breve comprobación no significa que no existiera, especialmente cuando nosotros lo sufrimos repetidamente durante la noche. Además, se nos ofreció un desayuno como gesto de buena voluntad. Agradecemos el gesto, pero el desayuno no compensa una noche sin poder descansar. Nosotros reservamos una habitación de hotel para dormir y descansar antes de nuestro viaje, no para desayunar. Queremos destacar que el personal de recepción fue muy amable y trató de ayudarnos dentro de sus posibilidades. Nuestra crítica se refiere principalmente a la gestión posterior de la reclamación y, especialmente, a la respuesta del manager, que nos hizo sentir que se ponía en duda nuestra experiencia. Una pena, porque el trato del personal fue excelente, pero la manera en la que se gestionó nuestra reclamación hizo que nuestra experiencia final fuera muy negativa.

Wygodnie, miło, uprzejmie.

Lokalizacja

− Mała łazienka, prysznic wygodny i wystarczająco duży ale reszta łazienki za mała

Room was comfortable and clean short walking distance from the main high street and underground. Was able to find nice restaurants for meals. Would have stayed extra night but hotel was fully booked.
