    Disappointing Stay – Poor Service During Power Cut I was very disappointed with my recent stay at this Swiss hotel in Essentials by Dorint Basel City .During my visit, there was a power cut, and to my surprise, the hotel had no backup system in place. This left the rooms without electricity and created a very uncomfortable experience. What made the situation worse was the receptionist’s attitude during checkout. Instead of offering any apology or concern, they simply dismissed the issue by saying the entire precinct was affected, as if that excused the lack of preparation or support for guests. The tone was unhelpful and quite frustrating. For a hotel of this level, I expected better service, better communication, and at least some form of contingency during unexpected situations. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of that. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves both their facilities and customer service.
