There should be no problem in naming the hotel but, invariably, there is an extra charge in getting breakfast delivered to your room and secondly when you booked the hotel you should have know if there as breakfast included or not. Sorry, but welcome to the real world!
Believe or believe it not 15 quid is the standard price for a brekkie in a hotel... You cant blame the hotel if you didnt know that the brekkie was not included.
We asked if it was included in our room rate, which he told us it was, without checking our booking.
Last Tuesday I stayed at a well known 4* hotel in Galway City. On settling my bill, my husband had had three beers from the mini bar but also got charged for a Smirnoff Ice. Neither of us have ever drunk one of these yokes. On querying the bill, we were asked if we lifted it out of it's slot! Yes, I had - just to see it - and put it back. They have a spring mechanism that goes to the terminal and records. Apologies and refund was given. A few days later at a 4* in Limerick, I was charged for a packet of Jelly Beans (which my hubby had examined) and he same story. But how many people would be fully clued in to what they have guzzled in the room. Perhaps unscrupulous managers could use this as a way of keeping their stocks 'in order'. In most of these places a standard 330ml in the mini bar is about e7. That profit should be enough.
Why do people feel they can't name hotels, shops, etc.? Why not?
I've no gripe with the hotels mentioned and will be staying in both again. I merely wanted to bring it to the attention of the unwarey traveller.Why do people feel they can't name hotels, shops, etc.? Why not?
Ditto.+1 . If peoples' experiences are honest I don't see what the problem is either. Over in the banking section there is regular criticism of specific banks , credit cards etc.
