Schlebusch U-Bahn Hotels from from S$87

"Positives: clean and in a quiet area Negatives: maybe this hotel would have been fine had it not been for a terrible first impression that then meant finding fault with things normally would just have been ignored. On arrival, checked in and told would be staying in the less-than-appealing-looking block the other side of the road (no reception, bar or pool or anything there). Then told am staying in a room on fourth floor and then told the lift is not working. There was no email about this in advance, or message via Expedia. This was not a problem but the fact they had not even bothered to check or update me in advance was lazy practice by Mercure management. The feeling it left me with was that they did not really care about having me as a guest and that feeling persisted the next time I interacted with a member of staff in check-out; who did not even bother to ask me how my stay was. It just gave the impression of a hotel where the culture is one of not really being that bothered at all about customer service. So I can also say that my room smelt of drains, had to phone for the WiFi password, the bed was uncomfortable, the two pillows provided had the structural integrity of a melting block of ice and ice would have been nice as, inevitably, the air conditioner did not work. The hotel did offer me a free drink at the bar on arrival because the lift was broken. The bar was unstaffed at that point, so meaningless. Book elsewhere. "

"I have stayed at the Dorint multiple times in the past and have always looked forward to returning, which makes this experience particularly disappointing. Upon check-in, I was assisted by Corinna Submann, and the interaction was unprofessional and unwelcoming. I felt as though I was being accused of attempting to underpay for my room due to the reservation showing one person. Prior to arrival, I had messaged the hotel indicating that there would be two guests and that I required two beds. The room I was initially assigned was a superior room with only one bed. As I was traveling with a coworker, this was not acceptable. I returned to the front desk and was downgraded to a smaller room with two beds. The interaction at the desk during this exchange was again unfriendly. I had booked and paid for what I understood to be a higher-category room and requested a credit to reflect the downgrade and the fact that the room did not meet the expectations of my reservation. I was told this was not possible and that it was Expedia’s responsibility. After spending several hours communicating with Expedia, they informed me that any refund or adjustment was the hotel’s responsibility. No resolution was offered. In addition to the room issues, several aspects of the hotel were below the standard I expect from a four-star property: - The main entrance door was not functioning. - Lobby furniture had been removed. - Tiles in common areas were cracked and in poor condition.
