1. We arranged an airport pick-up for our arrival at 2AM. Upon arrival, nobody was there to pick us up. When trying to call them, nobody answered the phone. Luckily, a colleague from the other Raddison Blu hotel was there and arranged a taxi for us. Upon arriving at the hotel, they just said "well it wasn't your fault and it wasn't our fault". No, it was definitely your fault: I clearly communicated the arrival times and you even confirmed the arrival time and date in the Booking.com chat. Also, your phone should be available at all times: what happened to 24/7 reception?
2. On a Tuesday night, the hotel hosted a wedding party until 1 AM. The music was so loud that you could feel the bass in your body, making it impossible to fall asleep. They knew a wedding party was scheduled, so why did they give us a room so close to the wedding area, rather than near the other side of the hotel? Poor planning. We complained to the front desk three times between 10 PM and midnight before they decided to reimburse us.
3. They promised to reimburse us for one night. Upon checkout, they didn't have money on-hand and instead asked for my phone number so that I could send them my bank details. So I did. It's been a month and I still haven't received my reimbursement. They haven't been replying to my messages anymore.
4. Safety hazard. My wife had a remote job interview during our stay. We decided to move the desk in front of the window to get good lighting. When we lifted the table, the legs fell out from underneath it and we completely pulled out the ~30 kg table top. The table top was attached to the wall by two small screws the size of my fingernail, and only that was keeping it upright. This is an absolute safety hazard. If a child would have pulled/leaned on the desk, it would have fallen forward and crushed the child.
