The hotel air conditioning system does not work. The first double room we were given was not fit for purpose. The small double bed was pushed up against a wall so we could not walk around it. The room had one chair only - not two for a double room. The room was minute. The hot water was barely tepid and made for an uncomfortable shower. In the second room we were given the shower could not be turned off and ran constantly. The fridge did not cool.
