Thank you for the surprise from GH Universal Bandung. To be honest, we've stayed at this hotel several years ago. One of the reasons we returned to GH Universal was because of the fond memories, including the time we left our pets at the adjacent hotel.
However, this time we were very disappointed with our breakfast experience. The restaurant refused to let our nanny accompany our two children, aged 4 and 5.5. We were also asked to pay for breakfast for the children.
What we regret most is the way the situation was communicated. The restaurant staff allowed our two children into the breakfast area, but asked our nanny to stay outside, saying, "If I let you in, how will I know if you're eating?"
We found these words and actions highly unprofessional. It's completely inappropriate to allow young children to be in a restaurant area unaccompanied. The safety and comfort of children should be a priority, especially when their caregivers are not allowed in.
We wouldn't have a problem with a breakfast fee policy. However, the way it was communicated and handled was very disappointing and doesn't reflect the standard of service of a star-rated hotel.
We hope this incident will be brought to your attention and reviewed so that other guests do not experience the same thing in the future.
Thank you.
