The front desk agent gave my information away to the other guests in the stay. Gave away my personal information and payment information to the other guests in the room. Other guests in the room should not have access to the information about the one who booked it.

This place was one of the most unpleasant places I have ever stayed at. To begin with, we checked into our room which had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. Then after they switched our rooms, they ran out of towels, linen and key cards so we had to share 2 of each between 6. The paid buffet breakfast is atrocious and has no hot food. The staff are about as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. And finally it’s in a very dodgy area. Couldn’t discourage people further from staying here.

Took me an hour standing around waiting to check in along with 3 other people. You book a private room with bathroom but bathroom isn’t in your room it’s on the outside in a shared space with another room so be mindful about that when booking & room and bathroom smelt like cigarettes even though we booked a non smoking room.
