The quality of the hotel is much unexpected. It is different from what it is advertised. The cupboard is broken and it is rusty! Another point is that the hotel advertised in the website that our pre-booked room can accommodate up to 3 persons, but when we arrived, the receptionist doesn’t allow us to check in for 3 persons and... more
