We arranged to be collected from the airport some two weeks in advance of our visit,we were sent an email with where to wait for the driver and his phone number. I instantly replied with my thanks and notified the hotel of our flight details and what time we would be arriving. We waited as instructed, no car, we called the number given, no reply . We called the hotel, less than helpful and they subsequently hung up after a few seconds. We waited bit eventually realised no one was coming, we got a cab for 27 euro which is actually 8 euros less than the hotel wanted. Result! However upon arrival at the hotel, once we had rang again as reception was up four flights of stairs ( no mention of that on the hotel details) we were greeted by a very rude hotel owner, he proceeded to try and bully us into paying the airport transfer, despite it being a no show, he shouted and tried to say we were in the wrong place , luckily i had kept the email from him telling us where to wait , he called us liars and then attempted to charge us for a driver who simply did not show. We felt bullied, intimidated and unwelcome, i advised i would seek accomodation elsewhere if he persisted , he then proceeded to check us in, demanding cash as payment ( despite previously taking half the booking by card ) and he did not speak another word to us for our 3 night stay , we had a double and a single bed in our room and we were told we would be charged extra if we used the single bed, surely if you book a room it's yours to use ? It's like saying you can't use the bathroom. The booking advised breakfast was 3 euro per person, but on request we were told no breakfast! Also no mention the the hotel is unsuitable for disabled people as up four flights of stairs , I have MS and i known I would not have booked . Room was ok , hairdryer doesn't get hot , no tea or coffee making facility, shower ropey and water cold after a few minutes. No option to leave a review on booking.com. Good central location but rude aggressive owner , determined to rip you off. Booked a cab back to the airport for 18 euro , half the cost that the owner quotes. Would not recommend.
