Reviews
This review is intended to inform future guests about a major security failure and how IHG responded to a serious incident at the Holiday Inn Express Wuppertal, Germany.
I rarely write reviews this long, but what I experienced was horrifying and unacceptable. I returned to my assigned room late one night, opened the door with my key card, and discovered a non-guest intruder—half-naked and intoxicated—lying on my bed. Reception was informed and Police were immediately called, interviewed me, and detained the man. The hotel staff confirmed that the door lock system had been hacked or experienced a security failure, allowing the intruder access.
I must commend the Front Office Staff who were on duty. They handled the immediate emergency with professionalism and genuine concern including moving me to a new room, doing their very best with a situation far beyond their authority.
However, the trauma was compounded by the Management's total failure:
Managerial Silence: No hotel manager contacted me for over 24 hours to check on my well-being, apologize, or offer support. This demonstrates a shocking failure of duty of care and accountability by the executive team.
Corporate Insult: I escalated this severe security failure to IHG Corporate Guest Relations (Case ID: 10580344073). Their final resolution was an insulting offer of 5,000 IHG One Rewards points, valued at approximately €5 to €10.
Conclusion
My loyalty as an IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite member and my safety were valued by the standard IHG process at less than the price of a cup of coffee. I share this experience so future guests understand that while the frontline staff are excellent, when a crisis occurs, the managerial and corporate structure fails completely.
[UPDATE: December 6, 2025]
IHG has chosen not to take accountability for the severe security failure (intruder, police report) by refusing to offer a resolution better than the initial 5,000 points (€5).
Furthermore, the hotel management failed to honor the basic financial commitment made at checkout: the promised refund for the unused room has still not been processed.
And the lift is out of door for more than half a week; altogether echoed the very poor service of the hotel, it does not deserve the stars at all.
Right in the center with shops all around the area
Central station is 5min walk
Good breakfast
Rooms with view on the monorail
Good room size
