− There’s no mirror in the room just in the bathroom but the room needs a tall mirror especially for ladies

هذه الليله كانت عاديه لكن استكملت الاقامه بالفندق بحجز آخر يتعلق بأحد افراد أسرتى ومن اول ليله الغى التكييف البارد اجباري لكل النزلاء ولم يترك العملاء ورغبتهم فى تشغيله او إلغاءه ولم ينوه بذلك مسبقا على بوكينج كمان

− كمان انهم رفضوا مرتان ارسال الإفطار مره لتعب أسرتى والمره الثانيه لمغادرتى مبكرا موقف آخر الغرفه حدث بها تسريب بالسقف مياه بتنقط ولتغير الغرفه تعاملوا معى بقله ذوق جدا والبول ليس مدفأة
