Compared to the last hotel, current one is very satisfying me with the services, the greetings, the meals and the people (this is important for me). If compared to how many star(s) the current one has, it's really far away from the last one. So, I think this makes the most difference.
1. Room - OK 2. Bathroom, toilet - OK 3. Restaurant - OK 4. Cleaning service - OK 5. Mini bar - OK 6. People - GREAT!
I would like to recommend this hotel to my friends. This hotel name is called Mercure Helios Torun Hotel. This hotel is located near to Old Town Historical Torun. From this hotel, you just need to walk about 10 to 20 minutes to Old Town Historical and you can find some shops, restaurants and small hotels as well. It's very convenience for having your meals and for shopping. About the meals of this hotel, I would like to say overall good and each time at least I will order for starter + soup + main + desert + drink. This is my first time in Torun, Poland I manage to finish all the meals starting from starter until desert. Of course, I will have some drink. :)
Just keep in touch with me if you go to Torun, Poland. I will recommend more things to you included car rental with cheapest rates.
Such a very very very long distance 'attached' that I'm having now! Next weekend maybe I will be back to Czech Republic and the distance will become shorter and shorter until I meet the 'attached' again...
I'm waiting for coming Christmas holidays and I need to plan well for this year as it's my first time spending Christmas holidays with the 'attached'.
From beginning until now, I keep on thinking that is my English speaking problem? When I communicate with people here (for those who understand English) in English and each time I need to question them again: Do you understand? Do you know what I want?
Scenario 1: - I discussed with a manpower lady for how many people I need to work with me for the one whole week. I said I need 6 people for this week (2 of them are from last week). I told her again. I need only 4 new ones and 2 from last week. But at the end, what I get is: 6 new ones and 1 from last week (supposed another 1 but he did not want to come anymore). Right now I have total 7 people and I have to ask her to reduce.
Scenario 2: - Normally if I change to new hotel, I will need a taxi to bring me there on check out day. So, one day, I requested a taxi at reception counter for 12pm (let say for example). After that, I started to prepare and ready for check out. After check out, I was sitting on sofa because I needed to wait for the taxi to pick me up. But, suddenly, the receptionist asked me: Do you need a taxi? You need a taxi at 2pm yes? Come on! You're stupid! 2pm is totally different from 12pm.
Scenario 3: - "I said put here not here!" - "I said write here not here!" - "I said don't do that!" Above phrases I used during my working with people here. They are mostly students. Some of them are good and listening to my instructions but some are a little bit 'bad' for me. That's why I need to explain to them again and again. What I feel so upset is not all (even they are students) can speak English or understand English. At this point of view, I do not care so much as this is their education matter and I do not have right to question more.
I am using SIMPLE English for communication but yet still certain people here cannot understand very well. So, what I'm going to do? Hello, people here! Teach me please...
Possibilities: 1. Shopping in Torun Centrum? 2. Buying at normal HyperMarket? 3. Staying at hotel for the whole day? 4. Walking around Torun Centrum?
Wao!!! A lot of 'things' I can do for this weekend... ;)
For 'Go', I want to leave current hotel as soon as possible because of having bad experiences here... 1. Hotel Management Staffs are NOT friendly 2. My room is NOT cleaned everyday (only 1 time so far and is going to one week of staying) 3. Restaurant in hotel is NOT professional of serving 4. The room is NOT heated all the time (still feeling cold now even after complaining to the Management Staffs) 5. The WiFi is NOT functioned well at all (even I did complain about this issue)
I am staying alone now in other European country while you made the 'Joke' of the day in front of people. I need money to survive here and you said something for me that I do not think is a JOKE! Luckily someone informed me about this so that I can know you even as 'deep' as hell under the ground. Thank you so much for treating me as your 'brother'. I am really 'appreciated' it.
This is my first time where I need to pay NOT ONLY for the room but also for the water and electricity! This is hotel, a 2 stars hotel that requires the guests to pay for the bills. Why don't charge all included the room? I am thinking on why... :) Right now I have 2 receipts: 1 for room and 1 for electricity and water.
If you still don't know where I am now, I give you a hint. This country currency is Zloty (zl).
I guess that the following days I will keep on complaining about my life here. :) So, what had happened to me for today?
1. As usual, I needed to see the unfriendly hotel management staffs. Therefore, today I skipped my breakfast at hotel and I directly drove to the company. I managed to meet one of my temporary workers who helped me during the works and we chatted a bit about the weather here.
2. As usual, I met some 'stupid' and 'idiot' people in the production and warehouse area. The ways they behaved like childish and uneducated human beings. For me, this is NOT a big deal as it is normal here. :)
3. Again, unprofessional and unfriendly receptionist on the company reception desk. I went to see the manpower (temporary workers) management staffs and the person-in-charge was on holiday today. So, her colleague, who could not speak English at all (I guess) provided me the contact number of the respective person and I left. So, I asked her whether this is mobile phone number or not and she said YES. Fine! After few minutes, I called this number and I found out that this is her office phone number. So, she provided me again the another phone number and again I guess this is reception number. Great! The 'idiot' and rude lady who sits on her chair for the whole day spoke to me in unfriendly tone and she showed the aggressive sounds at me. Fine! She provided me the phone number again I could not call the person that I wanted to. So, finally, one of my temporary workers gave me her EXACT mobile phone number. Thanks God!
I don't understand on why I am being so unlucky while I stay alone here. My 'picus' colleague left me away and I have to keep surviving here without close friends. Everyday I try to be patience to see all 'stupid + idiot + uneducated + rude' people here. Please God, I want to go back to Czech Republic to visit back my real friends there! :)
So, why I said so? From my previous post, I did mention about my hard time to go through here (hint: one of the European country next to Czech Republic). For me, there is no point to mention the country name as maybe other people may think differently from my side.
I have been staying here since last week Thursday until now and I went through a lot of things here. First, people here are not as friendly as I think in Czech Republic. From this point of view, I think here is a small city (maybe different situation if in capital of country or big city). Because of this so-called 'not well-developed' small city, people are looking at me like 'strange ways' and they started to talk about me with some funny things on me. First reason I feel so angry and sad. Second, I think people here don't like people who are from other countries and cannot talk their language (for example: me). From this point of view, everyday they prefer to 'talk' or 'entertain' their people rather than people like me who is always smile and greet. At the end, what I got from some people were 'BLACK FACE' and 'stare eyes'. Lastly, no respect from these people to people like me from other countries. Fine! I do not expect so much from others and please respectful is important so that people like me will respect you too.
Because of these BAD experiences here so far, I would like to do the followings: -- Change Hotel! (Service here is bad and I cannot wait for next hotel in Centrum and I hope that next hotel will be better than here) -- No 'Simply Respect' (I will pay respect for those who respect me) -- No 'Simply Smile' (I will behave like a normal person with 'normal' smile for those I do not know them) -- Pray Hard To Go Back To Czech As Soon As Possible (After finished my business trip I will fucked off from this city and I hope that I will not visit this city again. I have given 'face' to other places of this country so I only blacklist this city)
OMG! I can't wait for coming weekend to change hotel. :(
I was having my breakfast at my stay hotel. There were only 2 persons at the restaurant, who are also the hotel guests and they just finished their breakfast and left. So, I was the only one who was 'collecting' the food and putting on one of the tables. I was enjoying my breakfast and suddenly a waiter walked to me and asked for the room number. So, I said '1... 0... 3...' and he asked for repeat so again '1... 0... 3...' I started to 'heat up' and told myself it's not a big deal as my mouth was full with food. So, I think maybe he could not hear clearly. After finished my breakfast, I walked to reception and the waiter walked out (was like following me out) and checked where I am walking to... Again, 'heat up' even more! Then, I walked to reception and there was a lady, who I think cannot speak well in English. I told her that I need a taxi at 12 in the afternoon (12PM) and she said OK. After that, I walked back to my room. Few minutes later, the phone rang and I picked up the phone and it was a phone call from reception. The lady asked me again whether is at 9am I need the taxi... OMG! Even 'heat up' more and more! 9 compares to 12 different a lot!!! So, this time I told her slow and clear English speaking. I kept on asking 'understand'... DO YOU UNDERSTAND??!! Grr!!! How come this hotel hired a person who cannot speak well in English. Imagine how to serve guests from Germany, England,...
Lyrics: We are the crowd We're c-coming out Got my flash on it's true Need that picture of you It's so magical We'd be so fantastico
Leather and jeans Garage glamorous Not sure what it means But this photo of us It don't have a price Ready for those flashing lights Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me Papa-paparazzi Baby there's no other superstar You know that I'll be your Papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind But I won't stop until that boy is mine Baby you'll be famous Chase you down until you love me Papa-paparazzi
I'll be your girl Backstage at your show Velvet ropes and guitars Yeah cause you'll know I'm staring between the sets Eyeliner and cigarettes
Shadow is burnt Yellow dance and return My lashes are dry Purple teardrops I cry It don't have a price Loving you is cherry pie Cause you know that baby I
I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me Papa-paparazzi Baby there's no other superstar You know that I'll be your Papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind But I won't stop until that boy is mine Baby you'll be famous Chase you down until you love me Papa-paparazzi
Real good (We dance in the studio) Snap, snapped (That shit on the radio)
Don't stop for anyone Were plastic but we'll still have fun!
I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me Papa-paparazzi Baby there's no other superstar You know that I'll be your Papa-paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind But I won't stop until that boy is mine Baby you'll be famous Chase you down until you love me Papa-paparazzi
I guess that coming days will be my very 'tough' days as this is my first time to come to Poland. Anyway, I try to adapt the life style, culture, etc. like what I did last time in Brno.
