Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog Holidays from NZ$1,432

It’s okay but feels outdated

The hospitality and customer service is top tier. The ambiance is modern, clean, and the city view was incredible of the Empire State Building.Our family loves staying at the various Melia hotels.

My room was very quiet and I enjoyed having the kitchen amenities and the balcony. The bed was average. My only negative comments are related to the unusually excessive daily damage deposit that I wasn’t expecting - big upfront unexpected expense! Also there was no bus cart for me to take groceries up to my room - but the bellmen would do it for a set fee. The pool was lovely, but closed at 7pm, which seemed early to me for summer. I enjoyed my stay, but won’t probably return to this resort.

We stayed 5 nights and no one ever came to clean our room even though we requested it several times. They would send up toliet paper. Towels and garbage bags and did show up at 9 pm one night to clean our room but we were in bed as I had a terrible ear infection. Upon arriving I wandered why the garbage can at the elevators were overflowing and even on the floor but after the 3rd day I realized they were having the same problem that we we’re experiencing.

They had an active water leak from the ceiling, I received a room change whoich at first I didn't want because I was tired and just wanted to sleep, however I changed my mind when the plumber came right away and removed the huge ceiling vents. I didn't want to risk breathing in whatever was in that vent, but the female at the front desk got annoyed and told me she had no room available when she had sent the new room key with the bellhop 2 minutes prior ( I had sent the new keys back since I was too tired to move), so this woman at the front desk stated I refused to move earlier so therefore she no longer had a room. I let her know that I would accept the room she alloted earlier, to which she insisted I could no longer get. I had to firmly state " when the bellhop comes back to the front desk with the keys to room 24.. to send those same keys back because the bellhop just left the room and could not have gotten back to the main floor from the19th floor so quickly". We moved to the next room, then later on prior to going out, mid-shower, after soaping up with bathgel the water stopped flowing from the shower head. I called the front desk to let them know. I made sure I stayed calm and went out from the hotel hoping the water issue would be resolved before I returned, god knows I didn't want to move my suitcases again.
