10/10 Excellent

"In consideration of the cost, everything thing was excellent, except that at check in, we were told there is no room with queen size bed that we have booked, but only rooms with bunk beds are available. We were also told it is Expedia’s fault to accept the booking…. Really? Well, when insisted, we were given a room with queen bed after waiting some time, but why does it happen in that way? Anyway, except this, all was good."
