Alemania Hotel

Our Members Say

 I stayed at this hotel in July 2008 and now I’m trying to warn all the travellers, especially those from Russia. We got into trouble and were cheated by the hotel’s owner. The room we were put in wasn’t perfect. There were cigarettes burn-spots on the carpet and on the desk but we didn’t notice them because the housemaid had placed the towels on the desk and the ashtray was also there. Anyway it wasn’t very important to us because we were going to spend a little time at this hotel. The next day in our absence the maid took the ashtray away and then the hotel’s owner said that we had spoiled the room, burned holes in the carpet and spots on the desk. But we don’t smoke at all!!!
We were told that our room is non-smoking, so why there was an ashtray in it? After that the owner claimed to pay for all this damage and threatened us with the police, and our tour-operator promised us we would get problems with further German visa applications if we didn’t pay. We were very nervous because it’s not easy to get the German visa for Russians and we didn’t feel guilty. And we didn’t have enough time to consult a lawyer because we had our plane early in the morning. So we were forced to pay the huge fine. Then we met the other people from Russia and they said that the hotel’s owner claimed the money for the mythic damage from them too. So we want to warn all the travellers – this hotel cheats!!! They extort money from tourists by means of scare and false accusations. It’s a gangster business, really. Beware of the Alemania hotel and be careful!
