Dårlig kundeservic, har ikke fått refusjon.
Cons:

Overpriset gammel, skittent, og utdatert.
Hadde booket 5 netter, men overnattet kun en natt.
Har prøvd å få pengene mine tilbake for bookingen uten at det lykkes.
Hotellet ber oss henvende oss til booking.com og Booking.com ber oss ta kontakt med hotellet.
Hotellets standard var lant fra det som var beskrevet, men gir oss ingen refusjon for de 4 nettene vi ikke benyttet.
Dårlig, og treg kundeservice fra booking.com, ingen av partene tar ansvar for innbetaling for et hotellrom som ikke ble benyttet, på grunn av misvisende standard, skittent, og langt fra hva som fremstilles på booking.com sine sider.

Truly Perfection at it’s Best
Pros:

As you arrive the security staff greet you with a smile, then when you enter the reception area you suddenly feel comfortable due to the aromatic scent and another friendly welcoming smile.
All the staff are very professional and extremely helpful.
The room was clean and very comfortable. The shower and water quality was great.
The included breakfast was exceptional, so was the dinner buffet. The Chef and kitchen staff definitely take pride in their work.
This is definitely a 5 star hotel.

Cons:

Small issue with wifi access.
