Hot spring Hotels in Langenfeld

Imagine you spend 1300€ for 2 nights at a 4-star hotel, expecting to have a romantic dinner and relax. But instead you end up crying in your room while your husband is in pain from food poisoning because he ate a sandwich at the sauna restaurant 4 hours before. And the next morning the hotel manager tells you that you have no proof and it is probably your own fault. This is what happened to us My husband and I came to the AquaDome Therme hotel, expecting to celebrate our marriage anniversary and relax.

On the first day my husband ate a sandwich at the restaurant in the SaunaWelt area. 4 hours later he started to have really bad food poisoning symptoms: vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, stomachache, weakness. 

Though the receptionists and waiters were very responsive and assisted us well that night, we could not enjoy the facilities and our whole anniversary was ruined. The next day my husband was still feeling weak and couldn’t eat properly.

When my husband complained to the manager Sascha Rössel the next day, he told us that we have no proof that it happened because of the sandwich. He also implied that we were being dishonest. When I made a comment in English and asked if he can speak it so that I can also follow the conversation, he replied that his vocabulary is not sufficient and continued in German. In the end, he unwillingly removed the sandwich from our bill, but only the sandwich. I assume we were not taken seriously because of our relatively young age and the calm tone of speaking. 
 Though we had a good impression of the facilities (thermal pools, saunas and the room service), the manager’s insensitivity and indifference could not let us enjoy the stay. 
It was not the kind of service we expected from a 4-star hotel. And it was the worst anniversary we ever had. Also the most expensive. I wish we spent the money on literally anything else.

We left the hotel more stressed and disappointed than we were before we arrived.

We are never going to stay there again. And I do not recommend it to anyone.
