Bastion Hotels - Vlaardingen Reviews 26

Messy in the corridors. Trolleys with towels and cleaning stuff all around. Although on the 5th floor.
Shower in room real drama. Water leaking everywhere except from the head of the shower.

Modern clean rooms. I could not fault the housekeeping of my room. Each day it was spotless and immaculate.

Breakfast was average for continental. Staff always seem disorganised and trying their best to be friendly. Sadly bacon and scrambled eggs were cold, at 6am daily. Reasonable choice otherwise but room for improvement.

I didnt eat in the restaurant in the evenings. I couldn't comment on the evening menu.

Biggest most notable issue is the staff. Inexperienced, untrained, lack of customer care. Alarmingly not alert and ignore customers. I waited to check in while the receptionist ignored me and checked in 3 gentlemen behind me. When I made a soft joke about it, the receptionist shrugged her shoulders, no emotion, explanation, apology or human interaction. Needs a reminder she works in hospitality.

The bar, big sigh!! A number of staff need a big prompt to serve customers, its concerning than during quiet periods the staff don't pay attention. On one occasion I made a hand numerical hand signal and pointed to the beers I wanted to order. The bar maid looked blank and wandered off to serve someone else. I waited another five minutes, she had her back to me, being the obly person at the bar. I tried twice to catch her eye. She wandered off to the kitchen. The staff need louder vocal prompts to capture their attention. Its frustrating and poor.

On finally catching her attention she seemed bemused she spoke with me earlier; couldn't remember 5 minutes earlier.

Other customers were left waiting unattended, bar staff back to clients, oblivious. Rarely turning around. Bad for custome and business.

In a hospitality its a big NO NO to ignore customers or not check on who wants served. Lack of concern or wish to improve.

Other than the upkeep of the rooms the staff need to refocus on a client driven culture. Try harder!!

Was on a worktrip with 3 colleagues.
1. Day we wen't to the restaurant, and ordered some food. After 10 min the first course arrived. After 5 minutes, we asked the waiter, if it was possible that we all could eat togeher. Her answer was. That is not allowed, probably a joke. 5 minutes after came the second course. again we talked to the waiter, and she offered us a free drink because of this. 10 minutes after, the last 2 courses was served. It gets better. 5 minutes after the last courses was served, the sidedish for the 2 first courses arrived, and they where done eating.
The end of the story is. When we checked out, all of us, got a wrong invoice. all of us was charged for the free drink we were offered, 3 of us was also charged for bears, they don't even drink bears.
all in all, super bad experience.

Bastion Hotel Vlaardingen. Beer served at room temperature. Schnitzel half-raw. Second meal fries soft and not well baked. Staff knows nothing. Never go there anymore
