Basant

Disliked: Amenities
No drinking water! We arrived on Christmas Day… all shops closed No water provided in room! And when I asked for water staff refused… only on purchase! Charged us 6 quid for 660ml water! That’s a joke! Extremely inconvenient and inefficient
Charged us 6£ for those 330ml bottles of water ! All shops were closed! So we had no choice…. When I asked why no water in the room! Only premium rooms have water! Kidding me?
