Dear Sightsee44429873385,
Warm greetings from Renaissance Brussels Hotel!
Thank you for selecting Renaissance Brussels on your recent travel to the city and for taking the time to share your experience. However, I understand from your comment that you were unhappy with the parking charge, the cleanliness of the room and bathroom, with coffee stain on the wall, with the process of collecting a deposit and with the swimming-pool not being available to book on this occasion for you and your children. I sincerely empathize with your feeling and apologize for the disappointment caused. I understand that this was a family trip and this is certainly not the type of experience I would like us to provide to you and your family.
Concerning the cleanliness of your room, this is certainly not acceptable and in stark contrast with our cleaning standard in place at the hotel. Naturally, I have shared your feedback with our Executive Housekeeping in order to re-emphasize to all chambermaids on the cleanliness standard which remains the foundation of every guest's expectation. Meanwhile, the concerned chambermaid that has serviced your room prior to your arrival has been reminded to pay more attention to such details to avoid any disappointment. Furthermore, rest assured that the chambermaid will continue to be supervised and coached by our Housekeeping supervisor to improve on the cleanliness standard and ensure a greater performance aligned with the level of cleanliness the hotel is known for. While this may not take away any negative feeling from your last stay, I hope it will bring you comfort and re-assurance that your feedback matters to me.
With regards to the swimming-pool, I fully acknowledge that a large number of our leisure and family travelers are selecting Renaissance hotel for our pool and sauna facility to relax during their stay. Unfortunately, with the current pandemic and due to the current regulations imposed by the local authorities to reduce the spread of the virus by maintaining a social distancing, we are mandated to have a 30-minute slot availability for each room so that the guests and their family can enjoy the pool safely. I certainly recognize that this may not be ideal, particularly during the year-end festive season which coincided with your stay, as we were not able to service all guests within a 12 to 14 hours pool operations. Please bear with us during this period as we try our very best to look after our guests while prioritizing your safety and well-being, which remains of paramount importance during these critical times. In the meantime, and in order to secure a time slot and avoid disappointment, we do invite our guests to book a time slot at the swimming-pool prior to their arrival and I know that a good number of our guests are doing so in order to ensure they have the time secured for them.
Finally, pertaining to the parking, please be advised that the hotel parking is actually subject to parking charged at EUR 28 on weekdays and EUR 15 on weekends as per our latest pricing. While the entrance of the parking allows guests to enter, we invite them to register the car plate number at the time of check-in in order to easily get out of the parking, I hope this will clarify your concerns with regards to the parking.
In spite of your disappointment, I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again at Renaissance Brussels Hotel and remedy any poor impression left from your last visit. Until then, I wish you a wonderful New Year ahead, be well and stay safe!
With kind regards
Rubel
