Our staying at the hotel started with the problem with the Agoda app. We wanted to reserve 3 rooms (Sep 30 - Oct 03), but since there were some technical problems so we reserved only one room. So we called to the hotel to check the availability of the rooms and price in case we reserve directly in the hotel - the price we got through Agoda was approx. 3650 bath - the price that was provided by the reception was 3799 bath (quite close). So we arrived.
During the reservation in the hotel we were asked to pay extra charge for kids. We took a huge room - family studio with xl king size bed. I told to the staff that we don't need extra bed, we have a huge bed in the room plus sofa. But the staff told us that we have to! I have one child 6 years old and one toddler 2 years old - so I paid extra charge per both children, even for the toddler that always sleeps with us and not in the baby con. I tried to explain that in other hotels - if no extra bed is needed, so not extra charge is required. But the staff told us that this is their policy! 799 bath per night per each one - which made our staying quiet expensive, much higher than projected! We had no choice. The hotel denied our request for free cancellation and claimed that we will be fully charged anyway, on other hand the price was not fair - I agree to pay extra money for kids' breakfasts (despite the fact that they barely eat breakfast) but to pay extra money for no reason like extra beds, just because this is the hotel's policy that was not mentioned in the Agoda app - it's disappointed!
I contacted Agoda support - I was told by the Agoda's agent that they operate through the third party and they cannot reach out him (they tried few times) in order to ask for the free cancellation. We had no choice but to stay at this hotel.
The same was required my sister - only family studio was available and since she came with her son (6 years old) she was charged for extra bed for no reason.
I hope that the hotel management team will review this feedback and change their policy accordingly. I will never take again this hotel.
