I have double charged from a hotel. I told a reception when I came to check in on 30 November 2024 that I had paid. However she told me. I did not pay yet and she ask me to pay again.After I recheck my room was paid on 8 July 2024.I think the staff at check in counter lack of training and make a big mistake.

Close to CBD, walkable, easy to find location. About the room. I booked a twin room, small space but adequate. The shower door did not close completely therefore water pooling on the floor when showering if not careful. Great kitchen fully stocked with everything you need on a short stay.
