On asking the Receptionist to change the room as the Metro was rattling every 15 minutes and would continue to do so till 1 am, the Receptionist was very agitated, he said that all the Double and Twin rooms were on the Metro side and only rooms for 3 people were on the courtyard side. The Triple Room was 20 Euros more expensive. Further, we chose the Hotel also for its proximity to the airport, but still had to pay 10 Euros for taxi to get to the airport from the Hotel in...
