We had a funny situation at that Hotel.......... We had booked for 2 nights.
Looked great, ideal location........
It was quite warm weather at the time. high 20s.
We booked this Hotel because of its location and..........
because it has 'air conditioning'.
After we checked in and were in the room, I couldn't get the air conditioning to work.
So I went down to reception.
The conversation that transpired was like a Monty Python sketch!
I can't get the air conditioning to work.
(R) No Sir, the Hotel is still on the winter heating cycle
So I can't control the air conditioning in my room, to get cold air?
(R) Right now as we are not in summer yet, the central system is on heating only.
But on booking.com your hotel description states you have air conditioning.
(R) Yes Sir, we do.
So can I turn on the Air Conditioning please?
(R) No Sir, not until Summer............
I recall we had paid quite a bit for the room, so I asked to cancel the reservation and we would stay somewhere else............
I found another nice Hotel just on the other side of the river.
But this time I thought I'll make 100% sure.
I rang central reservations in Madrid.
Does the Hotel have air conditioning?
(R) Yes Sir
It is operating?
(R) Yes Sir.
On cool?
(R) Yes Sir.
We'll take it
