We had booked an overnight stay on Friday April 14 with an "experience voucher" in the Aparthotel hotel in Blankenberge. We arrived there at 6:15 PM. There was no one at the reception. We couldn't immediately find the key box, so I called the emergency number posted at the reception. They answered there and told me they would notify someone. I then called again on the landline on the desk to say that I had found the key box and was already going to my room. What I found there was unbelievable. The bed was not made, there was still a bottle and 2 pints on the table, the used towels were still on the floor in the bathroom, the waste bin still contained hair and tissues, .... unimaginable. So it is clear that the person responsible had completely forgotten about this. Moreover, at a quarter past 6 (6:15 PM) there was no one at the reception, while the email stated that there is ALWAYS someone there until 7 PM. The hotel manager came in angry, completely upset because I had called from the desk phone. We were not welcome and had to leave the building immediately. We weren't going to get the money back either. He paid no attention to the fact that the room was dirty and the fact that he was not there at 6:15 PM, all he cared about was shouting at us to leave. I then called the police. He then arrived at the scene and tried to calm the man down. The police officer also suggested that we go to the Mercure hotel or the Ibis to see if there was a room available there... and luckily there was. What I especially want to complain about is the way in which the manager dares to be so rude in order to cover up a serious shortcoming. Unheard, unseen and unimaginable. Attached you will find the photos I took in our room at that time.
