If ur built into a wall are u really ‘underground’
It was a good gimmick to stay ‘underground’ but we didn’t physically step underground. Meal and drink prices were excessive expensive so we found better value across the road. The rooms don’t come cheap and we couldn’t understand how this was marketed as an International Hotel?? It was confusing in checking in, as Reception was not clearly identified. Would probably try somewhere that you physically have to go underground. By the way, no air conditioning, only fans. As they claimed air con was not required because being ‘underground’. Night was too warm, an air conditioner would’ve been better.
