Das Kriminal Dinner in Frankfurt am Main

Yesterday we were at the Melia Innside for the crime dinner in Frankfurt am Main. After being warmly welcomed, you came to your seats. The service was nice and very quick. Even during breaks you got your drinks within a very short time. About the theater piece itself: There were two women who carried out the event. It was a combination of crime and comedy. Both did very well. About the ambience: Not so nice inside. Real effort was put into designing the space. But in the end it was a conference room with 90 people in it. Possibly smaller location, more comfortable and 40-50 people. Then the price is ok too. The food: Quite okay in itself. Something little. Especially the two mini baguette slices with the soup were a real hit. Price-performance: If the drinks had been included, I would have said that the price was okay at 90 euros per person. So another 60 euros were added on top. A bit overpriced for that. Improvement ideas: 1-2 more actors A little more set design or props Another nicer atmosphere At least a bread basket or something similar so that you are full.

I can only warmly recommend that anyone who reads this review before thinking about booking a crime dinner not to do so. As in our case, for 90 euros per head excluding drinks you get seats in a loveless conference room in a hotel, where you are served bad food. The actors are certainly not to blame; they are ultimately victims of the commercialized concept of the crime dinner. The service was virtually non-existent during the performances, so at least we saved overpriced drinks.

PLEASE NEVER GO AGAIN! Catastrophe. I haven't had such a disappointment in a long time. The dancers were okay, yes, but definitely not professional. But Carlos, the entertainer, is just bizarre and embarrassing. How can you lose control of yourself like that!

The burlesque dinner was an absolute disaster. The dancers were still ok, but Carlos (the guy who accompanied the whole "show") was terribly bad and a total embarrassment. Bad jokes and embarrassing stories from his life to fill the breaks. Finally, his own “dance” where people left. The location is a meeting room in a hotel, undecorated and with complete lighting. Food not good either. Everyone in the room was embarrassed and we wished we had left earlier.

Provider is not recommended. My booked appointment was canceled with a poorly written standard email a few days in advance due to overbooking. I only received the money back after turning on PayPal buyer protection.

Please note, NO REBOOKING/NO EXCHANGE FOR A VOUCHER!!!!! Status: I have read the terms and conditions and also that it is not possible to return the tickets. But I didn't want to return the tickets or my money. Actually, I (or my parents) wanted to go to a play. Since an operation including rehab unfortunately comes in the way, I kindly asked FIVE MONTHS before the theater date about the possibility of rebooking the tickets to another performance (preferably later, preferably earlier, just not on the existing date). The answer consisted of 99% general terms and conditions text and made it clear that neither rebooking nor vouchers were desired or possible. I was advised to give the cards away or sell them (which is only possible if certain conditions are met, which I was expressly advised of.) Unfortunately, help or even customer friendliness could no longer be hoped for after this email. So I can only recommend buying the tickets on the same day if you are 110% sure that you will be able to go. For us, booking with this company, regardless of the event, is no longer an option.
