2/10 Poor

I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe.

Prices do not match on hotels.com and hotel
At check-in the cc for booking was not charged, so I had to pay a higher price than on the booking confirmation: CHF 33 instead of CHF 29. Should be some additional guest tax?
