The long journey to my room, starting with an "exquisite" yard

This is definitely Not a 3 star hotel!

Location

This is not at all a 3* hotel. 1) 21 hours before check-in time I received a message that the hotel can't charge my credit card due to invalid credit card details, thus I had to call to the hotel, then check the website to find out that my credit card details were correct. Later I found out that this is a regular practice in this city, since hotels don't want to pay % to booking.com, thus they are trying to cancel your booking at this website. 2) Breakfast is very poor, but I am ok with this, but the problem was that I had to leave the hotel at 8 am, and the breakfast start only at 8 . To my question to the receptionist if I can get a cup of coffee and a cookie or some yogurt at 7.30 I was told that this is hardly possible , because the personal arrives at 7.30 only. Ok, then, I arrived at 7-50 in the morning and the personnel was quite annoyed ad unsatisfied that I got too early, so again I had to explain and ask for a coffee. 3) Room was awful....very small, broken furniture , it was at attic room....but the window was broken I was not able to open it. The room was also stinking because of the drain system i the bathroom.
