Things didn't go to well when I arrived, with a miserable chap on the front desk checking me in and a request for an iron being turned down. I was told I had to use the hotel laundry service just to get a couple of shirts pressed - and I'd have to wait 24 hours - not great if you are going out for dinner or need a shirt for the next morning. They grudgingly agreed to do one shirt within a couple of hours and charged me over 4 euros for the privilege. Anyway, the room itself was spacious with a very comfortable bed, but it was REALLY hot, and there was no working air conditioning. On complaining about this, I got a shrug and was told to open the window.
The attitude of the staff here is a real shame, as it could potentially be a nice hotel. It's right next door to the main train station and is in an impressive looking building. Unfortunately, the Starhotels chain in general is stuck in the past. No room cards for these hotels, instead your key is presented to you on what is essentially a huge brass knob with a tassle on it - very 1970s. They also insist on ramping up the bar prices (to the extent that the bar is always empty) - can 6.5 euros for half a pint of lager really be justified?
Starhotels President is stuck in the past, and not in a good way - both the hotel and the staff need to be kicked into the 21st century.
