The Ritz-Carlton, Vienna

The bedroom was comfortable and the staff were extremely apologetic and helpful about the problems and there were problems.

On arriving we were shocked by the dreadful seasonal decorations, cheap christmas trees with awful LED lights, all different lights (this was not an intentional look - it was cobbling together old decorations) warm lights, blue white lights and pink lights with tacky purple velvet animals. Really you could do better. As a designer I would love the chance to speak to whoever thought this looked good. It looks like a cheap hotel/motel. Your group needs to get more help with decorations, we were shocked how awful and sad the entrance and surrounding areas look. I am happy to send you some photos as evidence to back up our complaints. They do not need to be very "christmassy" as I appreciate not all your customers celebrate but they could be topical for the city your hotel is in and how anyone thinks that animals from the tropics/Africa and purple at all appropriate I am not sure. And at least buy christmas trees with all the same lights, you can see from the photos some looked white and others didn't The door handle to bathroom fell off in our hand, we were told not to worry as there is a phone in the bathroom so that if we got lock in we could call but help but then we established the phone did not work. Both were repaired during our visit. The bedside lamp was broken, this was repaired during our visit The light control was not working and once the lights were off in order to turn them on we had to go to the door We had to queue for over 5 minutes to get into breakfast despite tables being free. Coffee took over 10 minutes. There was definitely shortage of staff in the breakfast room and as when we left the queues were much longer, over 12 people waiting Saturday morning and they must have waited for 10 minutes with young children too However I would say your staff are helpful and doing their best.
