Stillvolles Hotel an super Lage - perfekt für einen Kurzaufenthalt
Pros:

Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, top Lage (5 Min. zu Fuss vom Bahnhof), bequemes Bett und ausreichend ausgestattete Zimmer; für geschäftliche Reisen ideal. Diverse, gute Restaurants sind zudem rund um das Hotel in wenigen Schritten zu erreichen.

Cons:

Etwas mehr Tageslicht im Zimmer wäre schön gewesen, lässt sich aber leider nicht ändern.

Pros:

Die Lage ist super und das Hotel ist von Aussen charmant. Der Raum war sehr sauber. Das Personal ist freundlich.

Cons:

Die Matratze des Einzelbetts war schrecklich; völlig durchgelegen, die Rückenschmerzen am nächsten Morgen waren entsprechend. Der Spiegel ist zwar cool aber das hell leuchtende An/Abknopf mitten im Siegel hat sehr gestört zum Einschlafen (da bin ich vielleicht sensibel aber ich brauche einen abgedunkelten Raum). Das Frühstück war für fast 20 Chf enttäuschend; ging bis 10:30 aber als ich um 09:45 eintraf, gab es keine Croissants, fast keine Weggli. Es gab kein Rührei und kein Lachs. Allgemein war die Auswahl eher klein, zumindest ein Croissant mit dem Café wäre schön gewesen.

Pulito, piacevole, posizione eccellente => con una sorpresa spiacevole
Pros:

- La pulizia della struttura era davvero eccellente
- Posizione centrale eccellente
- Struttura curata, con un'ottima manutenzione dello stabile

Cons:

Un cosa che mi ha dato proprio un fastidio tremendo... Anzi mi ha fatto arrabbiare proprio...
Credo che sarà un punto fermo che NON mi farà più ritornare in questa struttura...

Avendo poco tempo, ho fatto come il 95% degli avventori professionali la prenotazione su Booking,
il quale era segnata la 1°colazione (a CHF 10.- PP) poi vedo che non me la lasciava aggiungere... chiamo l'hotel, mi dicono che posso prenotarla direttamente il sede, che con il "loro sistema" non si può aggiungere.

Genuinamente all'arrivo chiedo per le colazioni (mia e del collega) mi dice OK, allora le confermo.

Al check-out, mi vedo venir fatturato CHF 18.50 PP al giorno la colazione.... ammetto di essere rimasto basito in negativo...
perché é quasi il doppio... ho chiesto spiegazioni, mi dice che se prenotavo via telefono o tramite il loro sito l'avrei pagata CHF 10.- se su booking loro applicano CHF 18.50...

Attenzione NON ne faccio una questione di soldi ci mancherebbe...

MA DI MANCANZA DI TRASPARENZA, MANCANZA DI SERIETÀ!

Vivo in Ticino, non conosco Zofingen, NON conosco tanto meno l'Hotel Engel... mi era stato consigliato per vicinanza logistica al mio impegno di lavoro....

Dunque NON ho il tempo di cercare, mi affido ad un portale che utilizzo sempre per le mie trasferte professionali (Booking)... e questa mancanza di trasparenza, ammetto che mi ha irritato parecchio.

Se alla proprietà di Hotel Engel, secca dover pagare una commissione a Booking, rifacendosi sugli avventori dell'hotel sul servizio colazione... mi lascia un pò perplesso.... o si allinea alla lista del proprio prezzo o si tolga da Booking.

NB. lavoro nel commercio, se una persona acquista da me fisicamente, on-line... il prezzo non cambia... sarebbe bello trovare la stessa cortesia e professionalità commerciale
