The owner refused to comply with rental conditions we agreed to while booking by hotels.com, claiming they had no cooperation with them (but they admitted to cooperation in an e-post exchange we had earlier). They applied conditions that suited them best, among others we had to pay more for the type of room we booked, wanted to charge for the internet (in our contract, it was free; we argued they gave it to us for free, but they made it very clear they did us an enormous favor). But even though their standard reservation includes breakfast, they insisted we had to pay for it since it was not in our hotels.com contract! We tried it once and regretted: it was only a basket of bread, butter and jams. If you want a normal breakfast,you had to pay them more.They promised in our contract “sound isolation”, but we could hear every conversation in the reception and corridor, and we were waken up several times.Our “superior” room was closer to budget standard; little, no table (the minuscule triangle in the corner was too little to eat or write on it). Everything (eating,watching tv,) had to be done on the bed, so the sheets were soiled quickly-they never change it despite visible stains. The hotel did not let us pay in euros for our stay.With credit card, we could only pay in our country’s currency, which cost us 30 euros extra since they set unfavorable currency exchange rate. They again claimed that it was not their fault, this time it was the bank. We felt used,disrespected.
