Question:

1. which hotel it could be?

2. why are the "recovery charges" 50% of the Room price??? Same amount is for 5* 103 bucks hotel, for $79 Hotel this "fee" is $16,39? Who should understand this? Sounds like the Airline's "airport taxes which are different from airline to airline

Thanks

hhhmm no comments yet from the specialists :)

Especially the question why taxes&fees are 50% of the hotel room rate?

Thanks :)

I can't say why the fees are so high, but I have seen this before in other cities for certain hotels.

As for what the hotel is, well, they don't give much to go on :).

yes they don't tell much about the hotel, but the TA 3.5 and 40+ reviews :)

I'll check myself and let you know my assumptions

could be "Minotel Europa" or "TOP Hotel Ambassado" or "Colour Hotel" but that's not a good deal, man!!

Horrible hotels!! and not really a bargain (remember the 50% fees)
