Forferdelig hotell tilnærmet midt i sentrum

Hotell personellet visste ikke at vi skulle komme, nektet å ta imot vår allerede forhåndsbetaling via Expedia og krevde at vi skulle betale på nytt cash. Rommene er bittesmå kott på rekke og rad, bak i en gang rett ved siden av en høylytt nattklubb. "Badet" var et lite hjørnet med hull i bakken (doen) vask og et dusjhodet. Rommene var ikke rene og her må man ha med eget sengetøy om man våger å ligge i disse sengene. Forferdelig. Vi valgte selvfølgelig å flytte og fikk heldigvis masse hjelp av Expedia.
