Discriminatory, Incompetent, and an Absolute Disgrace I had a confirmed booking at this hotel. Let that sink in — a confirmed, paid booking. What I received in return was one of the most humiliating and discriminatory experiences I have ever had at any hospitality establishment, anywhere in the world. Upon arrival, staff refused to honour my booking because I did not have my physical passport on my person. I immediately provided clear photographic copies of my passport and all relevant visas — documents that are widely accepted across the hospitality industry globally as valid identification in circumstances where the original is not immediately available. Every reasonable, professionally run hotel understands this. Not here. The staff were not just inflexible — they were rude, dismissive, and contemptuous. There was zero attempt to find a solution, zero empathy, and zero professionalism. When I requested to escalate the matter to the General Manager, I was flatly refused. I asked to be given the GM's contact details to raise the issue directly — refused again. This is not just poor customer service. This is a deliberate suppression of a guest's right to escalate a legitimate complaint, which tells you everything you need to know about the culture of this establishment. My booking was cancelled on the spot. I was left to scramble and find alternative accommodation at my own inconvenience and expense. The stress, the wasted time, and the sheer indignity of being turned away like this is something no paying guest should ever experience. I will be stating plainly what many will have already suspected: as a foreign national, the treatment I received was markedly different from what I would expect a local guest to receive in the same situation. The dismissiveness, the refusal to engage, the complete lack of willingness to apply any common sense or seek managerial oversight — this has the hallmarks of racial and national origin discrimination, and I intend to pursue this through every appropriate channel available to me, including consumer protection bodies, travel review platforms, and if necessary, legal avenues. To anyone considering staying here — do not. A hotel that cancels confirmed bookings, refuses to escalate complaints, and treats foreign guests with contempt does not deserve your money or your trust. There are countless establishments in this area that know how to treat human beings with basic dignity. To the management and ownership of this property: your staff's behaviour is a direct reflection of the standards — or lack thereof — that you set and tolerate. This review will stand as a permanent record of how your hotel treated a guest who did nothing wrong. I sincerely hope you reflect on what happened, retrain your staff, and implement proper complaint escalation procedures — because right now, you are failing on every level. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.
