My room was mosquito infested and the toilet smelled terrible. After an administrative mix-up I was called out of bed at 23.45pm to show my passport as they had no record of me checking in despite me explaining that I had a separate reservation for my second night.
I always in this hotel booked room with terrace (city view)
But this time give me room with window (nothing to see) view
But this the best hotel in this price in this area.
Ganske slitt hotell, men med god beliggenhet. Lite valuta for pengene. Mye støy. Fraværende service i resepsjonen.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Very Average
Very average, but I guess you get what you pay for. Beds not comfortable, air con is good, very loud location from outside activity, staff conned is on cab to airport to call a cab. Rather than just order a cab insisted we pay the hotel 4500 rupee. Going rate is about 2700. Cab driver asked us what we paid the hotel then got ticked off that he was only getting 2700 of the 4500. Tried to take us on the old non toll slow road rather than the new highway. I said no way dude I paid a premium onto the highway you go! Hotel staff ripp you off
