TRYP
Hotel by Wyndham Bad Bramstedt, Germany
After a marvellous three-week motoring trip
in Germany, we wound up our adventure with a two-day stay at TRYP by Wyndham
Bad Bramstedt before taking the Kiel ferry back home to Norway. This was
unfortunately a sad finale to our holiday. It was decidedly the most expensive
hotel of our trip, but because they advertised with four stars, we decided to
book it. However, once we had checked in, we were disappointed at every turn:
breakfast was not included, the Internet was inaccessible (and when it did
work, it cost extra), neither safe nor fridge in the room, all the furniture
was scratched and worn-out, and the chairs in the hotel room looked like they
were purchased at a flea market. Only
one pillow on the bed. We asked for another, but it never arrived. The sink and
shower in the bathroom were cracked; the rug was threadbare and stained. In one
corner of the room it looked like a dog had marked its territory. Of course it
is possible that TRYP have only just taken over the hotel and are planning to
renovate it, but if this is the case, then they should for heaven's sake lower
the room rates considerably until the hotel is up to standard. Parking was
hopeless. We placed our car in a space reserved for buses; this was possible
because we were there at the weekend.
Otherwise people parked their cars everywhere and anywhere possible –
irrespective of whether there was a parking space or not. This hotel should
have been classified as a two-star accommodation and should have been priced
accordingly.
Oops, no tissue. At least we did not run
out of toilet paper.
No fridge, only some old and worn furniture.
Well, at least the parking was free.
Four stars? They cannot have visited the hotel at all.
Mybe it was the parent-organisation Wyndham that got the stars.
