The hotel is brand new, rooms are sophisticated and modern. It is a pleasant stay.
The staff, however, needs to be changed urgently. I had two poor experiences while checking in and out, and will not stay again or recommend this hotel to colleagues or friends.
Daniella tried to charge me twice for the room saying “she is not supposed to know” (her words) when reservations have been fully paid while using Expedia, so she just charges the room fee again.
While checking out early (4 am), I was greeted by a night employee, his name was Yenia or Yehia. He told me there was an additional charge of 7 Euros for the room, but did not explain or understand why. He just kept trying to charge me the amount saying it was on the computer.
I asked if there was a manager reachable on duty, and he said no.
He was getting flustered while trying to charge me the amount he couldn’t explain, and he couldn’t remove the charge in the system given he seemed untrained to do so.
Here’s the biggest problem I’ve faced in my trip, though, with this person: he told me “you are in Germany, you should speak German”.
This is a hotel for international travellers, in an international city (Frankfurt), located by the international airport! Expecting me to be fluent in German to help the staff figure out a billing issue is unacceptable. This level of rudeness is unacceptable, and it seems to not be isolated, since Daniella was also very rude, not just Yenia/Yehia. Training and replacement needed.
