 | |  |  | Occidental Reding Hotel: No Food on Sunday
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
The hotel has a big glass door which you have to be buzzed in by the desk person. We checked in and I paid for the first night (134 €). She explained that the breakfast was not included and the buffet would be 13€ each. But I thought that was a lot for breakfast, and anyway they are not open on Sunday when we leave. We are in room 301 which looks out on the street. We got in the elevator and I was leaning against the wall when the door opened behind me - we get out a different door than we got in at the lobby.
Our room has twin beds, a nice TV (BBC and CNN in English), an honor bar, and a light system that you have to put your room key in it to have light. The bathroom has one of those glass doored showers, a toilet and a bidet. I got out my European plugs, and the power strip and Dakota plugged in all his electronic gear to recharge, and I plugged the computer in on the plug that I got from the NCL Pearl and forgot to return.
The one problem with this hotel is that there is basically no information in our room about the hotel. There's no list of numbers to call (desk, room service etc). There's no instructions about how to use the safe. We couldn't figure out how to use it (where was the key - it had an old fashioned keyhole in it and I kept forgetting to ask the girls at the desk). The safe appears to be locked - neither of us could pull it open. There's no list of times that things are open - like when could we get room service and what could we order from it. And the desk girls don't really know either because they are new.
We have now found that, the restaurant is closed Saturday and Sunday. The breakfast buffet and the cafeteria is closed Sunday. The breakfast buffet was open this morning (Saturday). They say that the coffee shop is open tomorrow morning for breakfast, but they also said the cafeteria was open this evening and it wasn't.
As I was getting ready to leave, I found a list on the table of when the various restaurants were open which I am sure was not there before because it was on top of a map that was a duplicate of another one that I was leaving there, and there was nothing on top of that map when we left to get breakfast. That list said there was no food served on Sunday after the cafeteria closed at 4 pm on Saturday. The coffee shop is only open as a smoking area. Leave a Comment
