그랜드 호텔 하일리겐담

heaven can wait ... The superb service of the Grand Hotel began before we even arrived in Heiligendamm. Frau Römer responded immediately to our questions and requests per email and reserved a junior suite with sea view as possible upgrade in advance. Dogus made us feel at home from the very first minute of check-in, took time to show us four other possible rooms and suites, and informed us about the history of the hotel and the services provided. We already felt at home during our first breakfast in the magnificent Kurhaus with the nice lady from Sri Lanka serving us with freshly prepared egg dishes, pancakes, waffles, and porridge. By the end of our third breakfast we felt as if we'd known Ulrike, Alex, and Ricardo for years, who took our coats, led us to our table, found time for personal small talk, and made us feel like royalty. The location of the "white city at the seaside" is of course world-famous not least due to the G8 summit held there years ago, and of course we were awed by the historic buildings perfectly restored and meticulously kept up, and we enjoyed every minute of our very comfortable room with a Baltic Sea view. But what made the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm truly grand were the wonderful people we met there. Maybe the management has been lucky with whom they've chosen to employ, maybe the employees have been lucky to have such great people to work for. We are certainly grateful for our 4 days in paradise.

Terrible service for a 5 stars hotel
