Letter of Complaint

Letter of Complaint

Dear Sir/Madam,

      I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received when I stayed in your hotel on 20th December.

      Firstly, your food is usually of a very high standard but on this occasion, the meal in your restaurant left a lot to be desired. The food was cold and absolutely tasteless so neither my family nor I felt inclined to finish our meal.

      Furthermore, although I had booked a double room with a bathroom and tea and coffee making facilities, on my arrival I received only a room with a shower. To make matters worse, the heating in the room did not work,

      I hope not to be treated lightly and I feel that I am entitled to compensation for this inconvenience during my holiday.

      I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.  

Yours faithfully

XYZ
