The Hotel is one of the biggest in the world and the theme park is fun for kids. Check-in is cumbersome with big Que and waiting area for about 200 people. The room we booked online was quite cheap but when we entered the room, we discovered why. The room was so basic, even college dorms would be better. The... More

We were given a better that I expected room, considering the price we paid for. It was very cheap. The room is bigger, ours was facing the mountains . There's a separate... More

Dust, spider web can be easily spotted on the carpet, ceiling, mouldy floor... More

It is a huge building so you can't get lost - check. Reception is huge, very looong reception table. You have to wait in numerous seats but service is ok - check.... More
