I got off the train took the elevator up stepped outside the terminal and saw already the bright entrance of intercity Hotel Berlin AirPort. What else could you wish for with two huge and heavy pieces of luggage, it can’t be better than that. Very convenient to stay if you have an early flight or want a super relaxed start the next day.
Room was clean and tidy, seems still very new. Nothing to complain about 😎👍🏼
Betrifft die dazugehörige Gaststätte:
Wir sind Freitag abends angereist und hatten Hunger, auf der Karte stand Gaststätte bis 20:30 Uhr geöffnet. Leider wurden wir da weggeschickt. Heute zum Samstag. Waren wir 19:15 Uhr am hotel, wollten abend essen, da wurden wir vom koch wieder weggeschickt, mit der aussage; er hatte volles haus, und wir können noch Bolognese essen, das hätte er noch übrig.
So einen Service geht gar nicht. Wer keine lust zum arbeiten hat, soll es einfach lassen.
Sind dann zur Kleingartensparte ” einheit”
Da wurden wir mit offenen Armen empfangen und sehr herzlich.
Können wir weiterempfehlen
Unglaubliche Lage, sehr gute Betten, sehr engagiertes Personal, ausgesprochen sauber - der einzige Mangel: teils schwarze Fugen im gesamten Duschbereich und wacklige Duschstange- schade, sonst wäre es absolut top
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.
