Отель блокирует деньги на карте The hotel blocks money on the card

The day before check-in at the hotel, the hotel blocked 500 euros on my card. When checking in at the hotel, they assured that the block would be removed in 2 days. However, when evicted a week later, the block was not removed. I showed the reception a laptop with a page from my Internet bank that the money was blocked, but they, of course, cannot do anything. I had to pay another 609 euros from another card. It's good that I had a few cards and they had money. But many travel, having calculated their expenses to the penny. As a result, I paid the hotel bill and for 3 weeks now I have additionally blocked 500 euros, I can’t use them. In addition, I had to pay not with a foreign currency card, but with a ruble one - the exchange rate was more than 2 rubles higher than that of my bank - there was still a loss on the exchange rate of more than 1300 rubles. In short, this cheap hotel is not for the poor. . .

The hotel blocked 500 euros from my bank card account for a room before we arrived. I had to pay 609 euros in checking out again from my another card. Fortunatelly I had another card. Now, after 3 weeks 500 euros still blocked!! ! I do not recommend this hotel.
