Top Hotels with Gyms in Halle

Since I am on a professional way in hotels, I would like to illustrate my perceptions in the hotel below. Beside the entrance there was a clearly visible ”teppet” of birdscot, which could be removed with a high pressure cleaner. The reception itself was friendly, but the room itself was relatively small and the double bed with a size of - at least felt - 140 x 200 cm also, just like the TV and the bathroom, very small. Walls and tape floors showed clear traces of use and the ceiling lamp was also sticked with the sticker of a German football club. To do so, the bathroom door was damaged. On the reception, we were informed that the restaurant did not open on the day of our arrival, since - lt. outdoor in the chair - no staff was available. The breakfast room was not cleaned on the first day, partly not newly covered or only partly covered. On the second day, this was better. Finally, the airing in the breakfast area could tolerate cleaning. The same applies to the heaters in the lighthouse.

After the hotel we had originally booked for the Handel Festival cancelled our reservation at relatively short notice without giving any reason, I was fortunately able to get a room at the Dorinth Hotel and have not regretted my choice in any way. As we arrived by train, we could easily reach it on foot from the station and the centre with the market square is also within easy walking distance. We were greeted very warmly at reception and although we arrived early, we were able to move into our room straight away. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. There was also a coffee machine with coffee capsules and a bottle of still water. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and left nothing to be desired. I would particularly like to highlight the fried bacon: it was really crispy - something you rarely get. You could get various coffee specialities from two machines or filter coffee. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We didn't go to the restaurant, but we ended the two evenings at the bar. The staff there were also very friendly, quick and attentive. Unfortunately, the lack of staff is evident in the cleaning staff. There is a note in the hotel room stating that the rooms are not cleaned on Sundays - but that doesn't bother us. If you still need something (e.g. a fresh towel) you can get it easily at reception. We will be back and booked our next stay as soon as we left.

I really like 'classic' hotels: sweeping staircases, uniquely shaped rooms, vintage furniture, slightly creaky hallways etc. Dormero fits the bill. but.... Hospitality is key. I arrived at the hotel at 23:06. I was told I had no reservation. After insisting, I was told that my reservation was cancelled because I was too late, the desk closes at 23.00, and why did I not know that. I tried digging into my high school German to apologise, but was then confronted with the fact that I may not refer to the desk clerk as 'Du', but should use 'Sie' (I remember this, I should have used 'you' (Sie)) instead of 'you' (Du) as a matter of politeness). Then she complained I had a 'foreign' phone number so she couldn't contact me to check if I was coming (I am a global traveller, but have a phone from a neighbouring EU country. SMS/whatsapp/phone calls all work.) Anyway, it took at least 15 minutes for the clerk to 'retrieve' my reservation and get me the key. some background about my role in this. I looked up the hotel on the largest hotel website, but booked on the hotel's own site. Why give more money to the platform. So, you think the hotel would value my consideration. I received the email confirmation and just checked quickly that the date was correct. I was planning to check in to the hotel before my business dinner at 19.00, but my train arrived an hour late, so I had to run to dinner. This stuff happens, and you hope that accommodations can accommodate this. I have come across hotels with early desk closing. They always mail or text separately that this is the case, and then describe how to enter hotel of pick up key after hours (ever heard of a key-code entry system?). Anyway, next trip I may book the corporate box hotel and skip the quaint. A pity.
