    Bad

    Cons: "I booked a bed on Monday and reached the place on Tuesday night from the airport. The person at the reception said they didn't have any space to accommodate me, even though they confirmed my stay. He said the amount was not charged and asked me to find another room. However, the hotel charged me, and I am not getting any response. Therefore, I recommend avoiding them.
