REFUND MY RESERVATION

THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL DID NOT RESPECT YOUR RESERVATION. HE DID NOT ALLOW M,E TO HAVE A ROOM UNLESS I PAY IN CASH ANEW. I CANCELED MY RESERVATION AS THE HOTEL LOOKS SHABBY AND THE RECEPTIONIST IS DISRESPECTFUL. I ASKED YOU TO REFUND THE AMOUNT PAID. UNFORTUNATELY YOUR RESPONSE IS NEGATIVE.

No room for me when I arrived

I will be contacting Orbitz for a full refund. The room I reserved was already full, and they said they don’t work with Orbitz. Therefore, they said I need to get a refund from Orbitz, but that they could rent me a single room (1 twin bed) with fan for 150 EGP. We (2 people) had reserved a king room with AC. Given that we had no choice, and it’s too hot to walk around looking, we took it. So as of now, I have paid cash for a room, and never received the room that I pre-booked and paid for. They declined to cancel the reservation, claiming there was no signal. Orbitz, help!

DO NOT EVER GO THERE

At first they claimed that I haven´t paid with my credit card via hotel.com so they charched me twice. And he refused to give me my money back even when I showed him the action on my bank account.
