Our unsmiling receptionist gave us one card to our room and sent us up to the third floor. On entering the room, a semi naked couple were standing directly in front of us-the room already had occupants. So back down with our suitcases and backpacks to the still unsmiling receptionist who, without even an apology, gave us a key to another room on the third floor. This room was empty ! Maybe twenty years ago this would have been a state of the art room, it had lost its lustre. The coffee machine works only if you happen to carry filters and ground coffee with you, so it’s a long untouched relic of the past. The kettle looked to be of a similar era, as did the scouring cloth under the sink, which neither of us would even touch. The air conditioning hardly worked (it was 34 degs outside) and kept turning itself off. There was a bath with a built in shower in the bathroom but you have to be a contortionist to get in and out and the toilet constantly ran out of water so you couldn’t flush it immediately. The safe had been opened by a previous guest and then locked in place. Our unsmiling receptionist came to see it and accused my wife of causing it (we had only just arrived in the room). Once we had vigorously denied that it was us at fault, he then earnestly said to us that he would send someone to fix it and would tomorrow morning at 09.00 be ok ? The next morning we waited until 10.00 and nothing happened so we ended up securing our valuables in a locked suitcase. Now someone please tell me that that is four star treatment.
