Dear Nacho,
For us every feedback is important. Our guest's satisfaction is our first priority and every feedback helps us to improve our service constantly. But it does not help us and all other hotels at all if you do not mention anything during your stay and also do not mention anything at Check Out when we ask you if everything was fine. You just checked out, went home and now you do write such a bad review without giving us the chance to react during your stay and find a solution. We are very disappointed because it is not fair.
The pictures of the rooms have been made 2 months ago and they are absolutely real. Our Hotel MONOPOL Lucerne is not modern and funky, it is an elegant and classy hotel. If you wish to stay in a new renovated room, we would recommend you to book one of our Deluxe-Design rooms equipped with a/c and nespresso machine for your next stay.
We do not understand your feedback regarding the cleanliness in the room. Our Housekeeping Manager checks every room before our guest’s arrival. If you would have informed us during your stay, it would have given us the chance to fix the problem if it is really true.
It is absolutely safe in Lucerne and around our Hotel and there are no drug dealers. Switzerland is the most secure country in the world. The entrance of the hotel as well as all the floors are under surveillance 24 hours and our main doors are closed during the night. Our night receptionist knows our guests and that is why he did not ask for your room number. This is what makes a good service in Switzerland to know guests. He did also say good night to you. As you were busy talking you could not hear that he said good night.
Also the parking in our courtyard is locked with a pale gate during the night. There is no access to the parking from outside. If our guests do not feel safe, they do have the possibility to contact our reception 24 hours.
For us it does sound like you did stay in another hotel, not at our Hotel MONOPOL Lucerne.
Warmest regards and all the best,
Brigitte Heller, General Manager and the whole MONOPOL-Team
