Initial room allocation was not what appeared in the advertising. There are newer rooms which are used in advertising images which are very nice, but our room was very dated. Very poor appearance of bathroom basin, and some lights did not work. When we mentioned these matters we were upgraded to a room that we would always be happy with.

Bizarre rule from the old man at reception when we arrived. He told me not to cook, but there’s no kitchen in the room. Why would he even say that? He also told me not to move two single beds together. Why would he mention such bizarre things? He’s a very strange old man. I am speechless!
