Bad and confusing Reservation system

My confirmation was not found at Check-In, even giving your staff my reservation. After going into other system they found it but price without Breakfast, but in your confirmation in the e-mail showed room+bfst included.Since it was cleared, the staff assured me that all will be OK with rgd to bfst. Upon checking-out, I was again asked to pay for Bfst. I protestd and agn showed your staff the e-mail confirmation.

Best location, directly across from Essen Central Station. Excellent breakfast bar and clean rooms with crisp white linens. Novum has done a good job keeping up a hotel I first visited more than 40 years ago.

Used to be a classy hotel, room was fine and air conditioning worked. However, no WiFi coverage in the room. Only area which had it was the hallways near the elevator and most public areas; had to get an E-Sim and use a hotspot to have internet.

Literally right next to the train and walkable all over the adorable and friendly city of Essen. The hotel bar was a relaxing spot too, and breakfast was great.
