The hotel room does not provide information on service such as internet, phone charges and iron.
When I rang reception to ask about internet, I was told to go downstairs to speak to them, they do not want to give me information on the phone.
When I rang to borrow an iron, I was told to go downstairs to get it myself.
When I rang to ask about the weather of the day, I was told they do not know.
When rang to ask how much it would cost to make a local call, again the reply was I don't know. All I know is you will be charged, but I do not know how much'. Even when I suggest the receptionist to ask other staff about it, the reply was there is no-one here who could provide an answer to this basic question.
However, the worst was yet to come. On checking out after 5 nights stay, I was charged for dinner, breakfast meals I never had, plus EU100 as deposit for the iron and ironing board (I was never informed of the charge). When I refused to pay, the receptionist told me that he cannot resolve any issues until his manager arrive in ½ hour time. It was 1 hour later and 3 incorrect invoices that the matter was resolved. I nearly miss my tour bus.
Never again would I use Ibis nor any of its franchises. They employ such in experience staff who neither have experience nor manner nor basic understanding that hotel business is mainly about servicing customers!
