TL;DR

Check outlets, cleanliness, and key card immediately at check-in. Report issues to the front desk — they typically swap rooms within an hour or send staff to fix the problem.

What the community said

The hotel administrator personally walked the guest through around 4 different rooms to choose from at check-in. No extra charge was required.

Free room change

If outlets are broken or the room is dirty, report it to the front desk immediately — a replacement room is usually offered within an hour.

Room swap ~1 hour

The card used to activate electricity in the room slot is not always the same as the door key — they can be different cards. Clarify this at check-in. If locked out, contact reception via WhatsApp; staff will come, but expect up to 40 minutes wait.

Staff arrival wait ~40 min
