Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel must immediately address and compensate for the unethical practice of price gouging, eliminating the reported charge of $\$230$ for an airport car (when taxis cost $\$45$) and ceasing the attempt to chisel $ ext{€} 15$ per day for Wi-Fi in rooms priced at $ ext{€} 1,650$ a night.
- —Structural and comfort failures must be urgently rectified, eliminating the excessive noise intrusion (loud scraping chairs/buffet activity) that begins at 5:10 AM in the rooftop-adjacent rooms (7th floor) and replacing old, sagging mattresses and leaking shower heads .
- —Management and staff need to standardize service execution and security, addressing the shocking report of theft (stolen smartphone) and correcting staff indifference toward basic requests (like coffee replenishment), which undermines the value of the highly paid butler service.
