Then, after a few minutes of sitting in a taxi, the time comes to lighten the load of the backpack. Agents come to you and showcase their hotel and price because they get commission by hotel bookings. We visited 2-3 hotels which took about an hour, but the last one was pretty good.

Only book a hotel if you are comfortable with the price, they hike rates on weekends. So, avoid to visit on weekends if budget is less.
