There were renovations going on in the hotel that we weren’t informed about when we made the booking — the restaurant was thus closed and it was noisy. The aircon in our room didn’t work, the hot and cold water taps of the bath was switched and the giant chess set has three pieces missing! Utterly disappointed in our stay.
