There was scaffolding in front of the hotel the entire time. Right at the start of my stay, I was informed that there would be no water in the hotel between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on a day, which I'm sure was already known when I booked. One evening my things had been taken down from the windowsill and all the windows were open--so that you could get into the room from outside. The craftsmen, who had already stood outside my room in the morning, some smoking (I was also surrounded by a construction site atmosphere and unrest in the hallway of the hostel), had wanted to paint the windows. It felt like strangers had been rummaging through my things, which is kind of true. The next day they said again that the windows should be painted, but they wanted to wait until the next day because then I would be leaving. Nevertheless, the windows (from the outside) had been painted in the evening, my room smelled of paint and I couldn't ventilate because then more paint fumes would have come into the room. There was no other room available and I would have had to pay for other accommodation myself.
Everyone was sorry, but no one seemed to have the situation under control, because it wasn't about force majeure but about construction site management.
The room should not have been rented out, and there was a discount only upon request. It was like an experiment to see how far you could go with guests. It's a shame that I had to deal with something like that on vacation.
