una estafa

La reserva decía que era una habitación con vistas a un jardín, frigorífico, aire acondicionado y caja de seguridad. Todo es mentira. No hay nada de eso y las vistas son como un un vertedero garage. Por si esto fuera poco debajo de la ventana que da al vertedero han colocado un tejado de uralita que genera un ruido que no te permite dormir en toda la noche. El peor hotel, si a eso se le puede llamar hotel, en el que he estado en mi vida.

Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Jedoch war unser Zimmer nicht sauber. Das Personal hatte die Fenster offen- und das Licht angelassen, so dass das Zimmer voller Moskitos war. Das Moskitonetz war undicht und wir waren total zerstochen. Die Fenster haben keinen Schallschutz und das Hotel liegt an einer vielbefahrenen Straße. Wir könnten nicht schlafen wegen dem Lärm. Es war nicht genug warmes Wasser für 2 Personen da, so dass die 2. Person kalt duschen musste!
