The perfect place which can turn your vacation into a total nightmare.
One place where I wouldn't stay ever, even if I get paid to stay
there. Started off with a mixup in offering me a domitory althought I
had booked for a single room and I had to pay 60 euros for a night for
2 nights. Wish I looked elsewhere and could have got a better room and
some good sleep for the same amount.... more

The perfect place which can turn your vacation into a total nightmare.
One place where I wouldn't stay ever, even if I get paid to stay
there. Started off with a mixup in offering me a domitory althought I
had booked for a single room and I had to pay 60 euros for a night for
2 nights. Wish I looked elsewhere and could have got a better room and
some good sleep for the same amount. The lady behind the reception was
absolute crap and could do witha nice course on Ps & Qs in english
language. Not sure about others, but I felt her attitude extremely
rude. I even had to pay 10 euros as a deposit money for the key.
Although I have travelled around so much, this is the first time
someone have asked me deposit money for the key. Seems like an ideal
chinese management culture.After the worst start, I went up to my room. The spiral staircase is
way too tricky and ladies, if you are wearing high heels or carrying a
heavy bag, you might as well carry a helmet and some emergency phone
numbers. Finally I made it to my room only to find it the way it was
left y the one who stayed there. Wet towels on the bed and soiled bed
sheet wasn't extremely welcoming to me, espicially after paying 120
euros 5 mins back. Went to the reception to complain and the lady was
like "Why dont you wait for some time. The cleaners are on their way.
They will eventually clean your room as well." Ohh glad that at least sometime in the near future there was some hope. I asked for a different room and the other one behind the counter was like "Why dont I get you a coffee?" and showed me onto the dining area and asked me to enjoy the coffee as he made sure my room was clean. Yes I did enjoy the coffee, the steaming pot sitting out there but there was no cups and I was like "I should have guessed, there was a catch". Well I think I would stop with the initial 15 mins of my time spend there, which should give you a good idea what kind of place it is. Can't be bothered to write anymore as its not worth my time. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you now. Enter at you own risk...
