Premier Inn Hamburg City Hammerbrook

In February, I stayed 2 nights at this hotel with my family before the cruise. We booked a family room and were a little surprised by its size (quite small). The first evening we arrived at the hotel where we were greeted by a receptionist who spoke almost no English. We gave her a prepaid voucher and waited. It took a long time for us to be accommodated, the receptionist didn't talk to us. After a while she said that we have to pay the city tax. We said OK and after the calculations of the receptionist we paid 1,5 euro. We specifically asked if it was the total amount or per night and the receptionist told us that it was the total amount. The next day we went out to visit the city, but when we returned to the hotel she informed us that there was a problem with the local city tax and that we had to pay a difference of 1,72 euro. Unfortunately, we again encountered the problem of the English language. The extremely unpleasant surprise was when we received another access card, a sign that our access to the room had been cut off because of this difference. I believe that it was not our fault that the receptionist miscalculated and did not know how to express itself in English. I have traveled quite a lot, but I have not yet found a hotel where the employee at the reception does not speak English at all and the tourist is "punished" because of a mistake made by the staff. Otherwise, the hotel was OK: good location, clean room, varied breakfast.
