We stayed in Brussels for one night with our family. Since it was our child’s birthday, the hotel kindly asked in advance whether we would like a cake and some special preparation in the room, and they stayed in contact with us until our arrival.
When we entered the room, we were greeted with a wonderful surprise. The room had been decorated and there were small treats prepared for our children. They had also left a very warm handwritten note, which was a lovely personal touch.
Later, they brought a beautiful birthday cake prepared with our child’s name on it and lit the candles when they served it. It was a very thoughtful gesture. Both we and our children were extremely happy.
It was truly a wonderful customer experience. We would like to thank everyone involved for their kindness and effort.
