Hotel Condor

We arrived at the Hamburg main train station at 9:30pm and arrived at the Condor Hotel at 10:00pm. There was not a soul to be found anywhere and the reception room was locked and dark. I tried calling the number listed in the reservation. We could hear the phone ringing behind the door. No one was there, so obviously no one answered. We checked all over priceline and could not find anywhere that stated a reception closing time. This left us essentially stranded in a foriegn city and country at night with no accomodation. Fortunately we found a guest who was nice enough to give us the WIFI password so we could search for another hotel online. Luckily my friend and I are seasoned travelers so we made it work. This was an absolutely horrible experience. I can only hope that American Express is able to get me myxxx dollars back. I will never recommend the Condor to anyone. It would be nice if priceline could go to bat for me here but that might be over optimistic.

Pros: Nothing. The location doesn't justify getting my money taken from me.

Cons: We never stayed there, because they were closed when we arrived. So essentially they stole our money.
