Cleaners are thieves .. be careful
Everything was great with this Hotel except that the cleaners stolen my phone charger and also tried to open bags. Unfortunately there was no active response from the hotel. Everyone should keep his belongings in the bags while they are outside their rooms and be careful from those cleaners because if they stole anything they will deny and the hotel will do nothing with it unfortunately.
