I am writing to formally document a series of service failures, inconsistencies, and a safety concern experienced during my recent stay at IntercityHotel near the airport in northern Germany.
Upon arrival, I encountered unprofessional conduct at reception. Despite the desk being empty, two staff members failed to acknowledge me appropriately, avoided eye contact, and instructed me to wait in a dismissive manner. Although self check-in machines were available, no guidance was offered. I had to identify and request to use them myself, receiving only minimal and inattentive responses.
During my stay, I requested a basic item (a box of tissues) from housekeeping, which was never delivered. This reflects a failure to fulfill a simple and reasonable guest request.
More concerning was the inconsistency regarding late check-out terms. I had agreed with a morning receptionist (Amy) on a late check-out until 3:00 PM for €35. However, when I reconfirmed this with the night receptionist, I was informed that check-out was only free until 1:00 PM and that each additional hour would cost €50. This contradiction indicates a lack of internal coordination and transparency. As a result, I was compelled to leave earlier than planned.
Additionally, my interaction with breakfast/lounge staff was inappropriate and unprofessional. I was met with visible irritation (sighing, dismissive tone), condescending remarks regarding my order, and poor service delivery. The coffee provided was of unacceptable quality (containing grounds and served in a visibly dirty cup). A request for almond milk was handled with reluctance and discourtesy. The final remark, “enjoy your coffee,” was delivered in a sarcastic and unprofessional manner.
Importantly, I also encountered a safety issue in the room: I found a piece of broken glass on the floor at the entrance of the bathroom. This represents a clear lapse in cleaning standards and poses a risk of injury, which is unacceptable in any hotel environment.
While I acknowledge that the room was otherwise clean and comfortable, with good air conditioning, and that the bathroom facilities and breakfast offering met expected standards, the overall experience was significantly undermined by repeated service failures and the aforementioned safety concern.
The pattern of behavior observed suggests deficiencies in staff training, internal communication, quality control, and basic service standards. This falls below what can reasonably be expected from a hotel operating under a recognized brand.
I trust this complaint will be taken seriously and reviewed internally to prevent similar experiences for future guests.
Super schönes und süßes Zimmer. Man hat in der Nacht 2-3 mal einen Zug hupen hören, aber nicht wirklich dramatisch. Beim Frühstück waren die Brötchen leider fast leer und die Kaffeemaschine ging nicht, den konnte man sich aber bei der Rezeption machen lassen, da die dort eine Maschine haben. Die Dame hinterm Tresen beim Einchecken konnte so gut wie kein Deutsch. Wir können Englisch aber viele bestimmt nicht. Wenn ich mir ein Hotel in DE buche, hätte ich gerne eine deutschsprachige Person als Ansprechpartner für alle Fälle. Aber 100€ für 2 Personen mit Frühstück und Parkplatz (10€) sehr gut. Gerne wieder
Good hotel for a short stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything needed. The location is convenient, and the staff were polite and helpful. Check-in and check-out were simple and without any issues. The hotel is practical, quiet, and well suited for a business trip. Overall, a good experience and a solid choice for the price.
The hotel is clean and new and serves purpose of a stay before or after a flight as a transit hotel.
Do note that the location is about 4 km away from the airport and therefore you have to take a taxi
LLktkGrundsätzlich ok. Viele Kleinigkeiten die hier und da nicht Top sind. Aber insgesamt für den Preis in Ordnung.
- Abendessen nur Buffet.
- keine Bar am Pool und im Spa. Sodass ins Restaurant im anderen Stickwerk gegangen werden musste, um ein Kaffee zu holen.
- Minibar war nicht angeschlossen
- Zimmer wurde nicht gereinigt, obwohl angegeben
- Beschilderung im Hotel irreführend bis fehlend
ผผู้เข้าพักNeu gebautes Hotel. Gute Ausstattung. Schönes Zimmer
Nur eine Beschreibung für die Heizungssteuerung im Zimmer fehlte, daher zu warm bzw. nicht zu regulieren..
ผผู้เข้าพักBeim ankommen fühlte es sich sofort wie Urlaub an. Die Anlage ist sehr groß und großzügig verteilt und dennoch alles gut erreichbar. Das einzige was ich persönlich negativ fand, war die wenige Auswahl am Frühstücksbuffet, da hatte ich bei dem Preis mehr erwartet. Sowie beim Restaurant und an der Pool Theke.
