Gaya Centre Hotel

Gaya Centre Hotel

4/5 Good
"The Laundry promise of same day service printed on their notifications in the room was not fulfilled. It was a false promise and created a wardrobe challenge for me. It is important not to mislead and give PRECISE time and date of delivery. In 45 years of intense global travel this has not happened before. Please instruct Gays Centre Hotel ASAP. "
