Pros:

Oprecht niks…

Cons:

Ik kwam aan en er werd aangegeven dat ik gecanceld had, terwijl ik dit niet had gedaan. Mijn naam was ook doorgekrast op het papier. Vervolgens kreeg ik het idee dat personeel eerst op de kamer lag waar ik lag, de slippers lagen er nog, er lagen haren op het bureau en dekbekovertrek lag opgevouwen op bed met twee vervrommelde handdoeken.

Aceptable
Pros:

Esta al lado del aeropuerto, cogimos un tuk tuk por las maletas, pero tardamos 2 minutos, caminando supongo que serán 10 si no llevas peso. Justo debajo del hotel hay un bar de comida que está bien de precio.
Es justo si necesitas pasar una noche al lado del aeropuerto.

Cons:

Se escucha el ruido de la calle ya que no está bien cerrado.
