6.6/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious but noisy due to traffic and guests later in the evening. Despite requesting a quiet room, I was placed under a noisy stairwell. However, the rooms were roomy, more so than many expensive hotels.

6.2/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was not the most central, but it was quiet and close to key attractions. The room setup made privacy challenging and lacked some essentials like air conditioning. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, and the dining offered good value for money.

Rooms

5.0

The room layout was not ideal, as we could hear our neighbors through the thin walls. Finding a dirty towel from previous guests was disappointing. However, the room atmosphere felt like a dormitory, which may suit some travelers.

7.2/10

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although with floor to ceiling windows offering no privacy from neighboring sounds, were spacious and provided a nice view. The service had some annoyances regarding clutter in common areas but improved with free breakfast vouchers. The location was great with an on-site bar/restaurant, but the neighborhood itself was nothing special. The dining experience ranged from good Asian street food to being misled about a buffet. The facilities met expectations.
