Iris Hotel of Thugs - Room 2
We booked 4 rooms through Hotels.com and paid all the charges in full . On the day of arrival we checked-in and we have been told to pay 25 GBP per room (100 GBP) total for late check-in ! We were really surprised as this is the first ever time we heard something known as late check-in punishment fees provided we have travelled a lot and never been extorted so harshly for this kind of penalty fees - the person on the reception had very poor customer skills and told us to leave the hotel at 11 pm as a group of 4 children and 5 adults or pay the fine. After much haggling he agreed for us to check-in by paying 50 GBP and get a refund from the manager who will be here at the desk in morning. During checking-out next morning we cannot find the manager for our refund and nobody was helping us and when we increased the pressure on the staff to call the manager or the owner of the hotel - they keep changing their story and finally they get exhausted and called the police on us ! Extremely terrible experience - 2 vans of 6 police personal trying to resolve our refund of 50 GBP. Finally we were advised by the police to leave the premises and contact Hotels.com.
During the process we find out that the hotel is owned by some Pakistani or Indian national possibly a corrupt politician or business person who must be hiding his ill-gotten money here in UK and running this Iris Hotel of Thugs in his country style ! Poor staff at reception were from Pakistani ,Indian , Eastern European.
