“Rhinoceros' art stay, fee shocks”
Rhinoceros is a one-of-a-kind designer hotel near the Mouth of Truth in Rome — masterpiece-level interiors, Vitra chairs, a B&O TV, warm welcomes, artistic atmosphere, and a typically Italian light breakfast of bread and coffee. The serious complaints: a guest charged roughly fourty-thousand TWD after arriving two days late due to a war-cancelled flight — platform and hotel blamed each other — and an extra bed was added and billed daily without prior consent, while a room-change request went unanswered. Practical quirks: hard to find up stairs with no signage, no nearby metro or station, confusing layouts, a stiff faucet, some doorless cold showers and a hard-to-use TV.
