Dom Hotel Am Romerbrunnen

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. ITS A SCAM. We arrived at 11pm to find the hotel closed with no signs of life at all. We tried to contact them using the number provided but it was no longer connected. We rang agoda who we’d booked through but they had no way of contacting them either. We had no where to stay, it was -9 and there wasn’t anyway to book another hotel. We had to get the train back to the airport and spend the night there. We returned to the hotel at 9 am the following morning At this point we’d been awake for over 24 hours. The hotel reception was still closed but eventually a lady answered the door and informed us the hotel had been closed for 6 weeks and we should have been informed. We weren’t informed. She finally let us in and said she would try to find out where we were booked in. After over an hour she informed us they had transferred us to a hotel just up the road. On arrival at the new hotel we discovered it was run down and filthy. We cut our losses and booked somewhere else ourselves. We have never received a refund for our stay.

Friendly staff, very outdated room and bathroom but not terrible. It was nice and quite, very good location within walking distance to a lot of the Christmas markets etc. Complimentary tea, coffee & water which was a nice touch. We were emailed a day before to supply a €200 deposit for damages to the hotel etc, which I believe is ridiculously steep considering the condition and contents of the room. Luckily when we arrived they didn’t ask for the deposit. Overall we had a good stay.

We learned upon arrival that our family Appartment is not usable and were rebooked into a nearby hotel. That hotel room we ended up in had bunk beds and was not comparable to what we booked. We have ever since tried to get a full or partial refund but are repeatedly told that they refuse to cooperate or even discuss with us directly (we booked via trip.com)
