How to add a new room?

Well this is embarrassing.

After using Beds24.com for more than half a decade, I've discovered today that I have forgotten how to add a new room type to my existing rooms and room types!

Shouldn't there be a "Add New Room Button" ?

Shouldn't there be an "Add New Room " button just above (or below) the "Add New Property" button" ?

Don't worry, your not going crazy, the button really was not being shown in your case.

I found the problem was to do with the HTML tags you have in your property description.
The tags are fine but in the control panel a summary of the description is shown to help identify the property, especially useful in the case of multiple properties.
The summary shown is the truncated first 100 characters of the property description and in your case meant it was truncating right in the middle of a HTML tag.
This caused the rest of the page not to display correctly because the tag never closed.

I have solved this by removing tags and special characters from the description before truncating and displaying it.

The add new room button is located near the bottom of the edit property page, i.e. the page that appears when you click the spanner icon to the left of the property name.
