“I never want to return to this hotel"
- Mosque view room is a fraud.
I wanted to see Hassan II Mosque from the room, so I booked Panorama mosque view room at this hotel
(the price is higher than a Junior suite).
At check in,
the reception staff Mr. Zakaria said that
I prepared the best room at this hotel for you, you are very lucky.
It is a room where Mosque is indeed visible, but the middle of the window is covered with large walls in the horizontal direction.
To see the Mosque, I need to go near the window and stretch up or crouch.
There is no way one can call this an Panorama Mosque View.
In addition, more than half of the windows are dark due to the walls.
I immediately complained to the Reception, but Mr.Zakaria said that all the other rooms have the same windows, so I give up.
By the way, there is a tall building on the Mosque side, so Mosque can not be seen at all in rooms below the 10th floor.
For this reason, the view for most other rooms is the building view.
- Walls are thin
When I returned to my room, I also noticed that the room walls are really thin.
I could hear the sound of the shower in the next room and the voices from the corridor.
The worst was that although I reserved a non-smoking room, smoke from the cigarette from the next room was entering through a door like a connecting room.
I also heard the sound of someone spitting in the next room.
- Reception staff is dishonest, reluctant to work, and rude
When I phoned the front to warn about the smoking in the next room,
The same person Mr.Zakaria said: ”We will respond in a minute,
However, nothing happened in the next room even after 30 minutes.
The walls are thin, so I know what's going in the next room exactly and the cigarette smoking still continues.
When I called again, I was disconnected, so I descended to the Reception complained to him directly, and got the response: ”We will respond within 5 minutes, please wait in the room".I returned to the room but since there is nothing, I called again, but since I got cut again,
I went to the Reception again...
I asked the staff directly, "Please change me to another room,” he said: “We can prepare a cheap room on the 5th floor, because all other rooms are full booked",
However, when I took a note of his name with a smartphone, and call by his name Mr. Zakaria), his bad attitude has changed and I received a different room of the same 12th floor.I returned to the room and was really tired. I decide to go to bed and was sleeping.
But at midnight the room phone rang, and the reception staff Mr. Zakaria, asked me: "Since the problem was solved, we are friends now, right?”
An idea to apologize for his dishonest responses previously did not come to his mind...
- In addition:
There is no bathtub in the room. Shower only.
There is no complimentary mineral water.
Water is in the Mini bar and we need to pay for it.
============
‐Mosque view roomは詐欺的。
部屋から、Hassan II Mosqueを見たいと思い、このホテルの
Panorama mosque view roomを指定して予約(Junior suiteより高い価格)。
Check inでは、Front staffのMr.Zakariaより、
このホテルで最もよいRoomを用意した、
あなたはLuckyだと言われ、
#1201に通される。
確かにMosqueが見える部屋だが、窓の真ん中を、横方向に大きな壁が覆っていて、
Mosqueを見るには、窓の近くにいき、背伸びするか、しゃがむしかない。
Panorama Mosque Viewとは言い難いひどい部屋。
しかも窓の半分以上が壁のせいで暗い。
すぐにFrontへ文句を言ったが、他の部屋も全てそのような窓になっているので、あきらめてくれ。とのこと。
ちなみに、Mosque側には高いビルがあるため、10階以下の部屋はMosqueは全く見えない。このため、ほとんどの人の部屋は、Building viewとなっている。
‐壁が薄い
仕方なく部屋に戻ると、改めて、部屋の壁の薄さに気づく。
シャワーの音も、部屋の声も、廊下から聞こえる。
最悪だったのは、禁煙ルームを予約したのに、隣の部屋からタバコの煙が、
Connecting roomのような扉を通して入ってくること。
隣の部屋の、痰を履く音まで聞こえる。
‐Front staffの不誠実対応
Frontに、隣の部屋のタバコを注意するように、電話をすると、
先ほどのMr.Zakariaが、「すぐに言って対応する」と言うが、
30分経っても一切隣の部屋にアクションの様子なし。
壁がうすくて、隣の様子がわかるし、タバコの煙がずっと流れてくる。
再度電話しても、切られたので、仕方なくFrontに下りていき、直接文句を言うが、
「5分以内に対応する。部屋で待っていてくれ」と言われる。
一旦部屋に戻るが、何もないので、再度電話するが、きられたので、再度Frontへ行く。
「別の部屋に変えてくれ」と直接伝えるも、
5階の安い部屋なら用意できる。他の部屋は全てFull bookingだ、と言うので、
名前を、スマホでメモして、Mr.Zakaria-、と、名前で呼び、15分くらい説明を続けていくと、、相手の不機嫌な態度が変わり、同じ12階の違う部屋の提供を受ける。
部屋に戻り、寝ていると、深夜に電話が鳴り、先ほどのMr.Zakariaから、
「問題が解決したから、私達はもう友達だ。」と言ってきたが、不誠実な対応への謝罪は一切なし。
‐補足
部屋は、バスタブなし。シャワーのみ。
無料のミネラルウォーターすらなく、水は、Mini barでお金を払う形。
