"The new owners have "digitized" the hotel. While I have no problem with online check-in prior to arrival and punching in codes for making the lift work or for accessing my room (don't have to carry a card key!) I think it's almost dangerous for guests to not have access to even a single hotel staff member at any point. The electric kettle I had requested (since there's no coffee pot in the room) and the hotel lent me was defective and it blew the fuse in the room at 3 AM (Feb 1), within hours of my arrival. In my jet-lagged state, the only access to "support" was through Whatsapp texting - even a call was not available unless you had a German phone. Further, I'm in complete darkness and the Whatsapp support person, Jasmine, asks me to "locate the fusebox!" I had to use my phone flashlight which rapidly drained the charge and I was panicked. Without a charged phone, you are frozen in this new-fangled setup. It was an awful, frightening experience. I usually stay here every year but I have serious concerns about returning. In addition, the housekeeping standards have plunged - the soap dispensers were empty and never re-filled during my entire 9-days stay. I had to request a bottle (through Whatsapp text, of course) and the bar person (knew him from my previous stays - a couple of them are being allowed to stay for a few more weeks during the transition time) gave me a bottle. I'm not sure this is "hospitality" - it is financial efficiency for sure. Owners' margins are higher! "
