We booked a double room in this hotel and when we arrive at 5-6 in the afternoon and after paid for this, the owner (who was more worried by watch a cricket match on the TV than to serve us) took us to another hotel (but not better) at Belgrave Rd without helping us to carry our own luggage. Then he showed us a single room beside the dining room (the door opened to this), with a single bed (90cm) which he said us was the usual double bed in England. It was amazing, because we knew that he was cheating us. Then, since he was showing me a double room upstairs(with a "real" double bed,1,20-1,35 cm; and more expensive than the first one, of course) a guest of the hotel talked with mi girlfriend and said her not to take the room that the owner was trying to cheat us. After that, we decided that was better to look for another hotel in the neighbourhood (at 7 pm !!!) than being cheated by this person. Finally, he refunded us our money without at least excuse this situation. As you see, a bargain can be very expensive.
