My boyfriend and I have just spend 4 days in Hamborg at Reverb. It will be gorgeous when finished, but it is absolutely not up and running yet. We stayed in two different rooms, both with several major flaws (all water from the floor splashing right on top of concrete cealing as to unsure a wake-up in chok every time a neighbour used the bathroom, AC not working, television not working in both rooms, missed cleanings) and we spend an insane amount of time in the reception trying to fix this. …you could only call through to reception if you understood German. We have been trying to resolve and contact management many, many times, and have been promised by the reception many, many times that they would 1) fix the issues at hand 2) management would answer our emails, and that they had been forwarded to management and talked about. Neither happened. Our last hurray with the reception was that something was wrong with their system so they couldn’t send me an email with the invoice for the city tax payment (which should be deducted from quite a large deposit of 400 euro that I put in, and would really appreciate getting a note saying that the rest of the deposit was to be released to my bank account, as experience with Reverb tells me something will go wrong) and a promise that management would definitely contact my today on either mail or by phone. That didn’t happen either. (UPDATE - got an answer after contacting central Hard Rock support, saying that somethings else was wrong in their system, and that it would take up to 3 weeks to get my deposit back!) I am sorry to say, but basic hotel infrastructure is just not in place yet for Reverb in Hamburg. We of course understand that issues happen, especially when opening a new place, but we do expect not being ignored when trying to resolve issues with the hotel we are staying at. Every day we were promised in the reception that the issues would be looked at, and as the days went on, our hope to a solution (or even just a reply) went down. It got so bad that I foresaw that cleaning wouldn’t happen either, and asked the reception to please make sure it happened - which we were promised, and you can guess yourself whether it happened. We ended up spending an insane amount of time and energy on our holiday trying to fix this. We have both worked in hospitality before, and will always try be good guests and to resolve any issues before writing a bad review. And as someone with a lot of hospitality experience, we do not understand how you can ignore guests like this. We experienced very warranted frustration, that grew for each broken amenity & promise. If I hadn’t pre-payed the stay, we would have moved.
