Little Siam Hotel, Utrecht,
Holland
by planxtyHolland
Firstly, location. The hotel is situated in an uninteresting suburb quite a distance from the centre.
Paying in advance upon arrival (internet booking) I was charged more than the rate confirmed in advance. Admittedly, only a couple of Euros, but it wasn't a good start.
The room was spartan without so much as a water glass provided, and no towels.
The (shared) lavatory cubicle was so small I could not even sit comfortably on the toilet.
The (shared) shower room had a defective extractor fan, thereby rendering the place like a sauna after about a minute. I could hardly see!
I informed the guy that I would be late home and asked what the procedure was for getting in. He told me there was no problem as there was someone on duty all night. Arriving home on a freezing night, I was kept waiting on the doorstep by the same man, who was looking at me through the door! When he eventually admitted me he said he couldn't recognise me because it was dark outside. Of course it was dark, it was 2 in the morning. I stand 6'5" tall, and I think I'm fairly recognisable. I really don't know what his game was.
I don't like posting such a negative tip, but I really think it's justified in this case. As the title says - don't.
None that I could see.
