I was a little bit disappointed in my experience overall. Having read the reviews I was really excited to stay at H10 Universitat, but when I arrived I was really disappointed.
Considering I’d paid over £450 for the room for three nights, and I was staying in the ‘junior suite’ I really thought I would’ve had a better view than looking onto a car park.
The double shower in the bathroom was impressive, but it would’ve been more impressive if one of the showers hadn’t had extremely poor pressure.
I have emailed the hotel in advance to say it was my partner‘s birthday and to request a message to be placed in the room upon arrival. No messages left, so I contacted the hotel who sent a bottle of sparkling wine to apologies – this was of course appreciated, however considering I had emailed them around about five times previously and we had been back and forth in conversation, it was a shame that they forgot initially.
Another one of my concerns was the fact that when we returned to the hotel one night, we were unable to get into the hotel itself! I understand that it was around 1:30 am, however all the lights off in the reception, and the bell that was placed on the front door obviously did not work, as we rang this numerous times and nobody answered. We stood at the front door unable to get in around about 10 minutes, and it was only when I called the hotel, that someone came from around the back to let us in. I have no idea how we would’ve gotten to the hotel if we hadn’t had our phones on us, as it appears the only way that they were aware that we were at the door was because the phone was phone ringing in reception.
Beds were comfortable and the breakfast was good, however I feel these were the only redeeming factors in the stay that we had overall. I am due to stay in another H10 hotel in September, however this experience has made me seriously consider whether to cancel this and book with another hotel chain, as I don’t want to be disappointed yet again.
