I was very disappointed that the bar next door did not offer meals. The advertising said meals were available and were good. I would not have booked there if I knew we had to walk in the dark to find a place that served European food…my friend is 94…nearly all nearby restaurants were Asian. Not a good aspect to our stay.

I did not like anything- the place felt like it was one of those properties in an alleyway. It looked nothing like the pictures I saw online when I booked. The receptionist who was the only person we interacted with was horrible right from check-in to check-out. He was never hospitable or engaging. At checkout he accused us that they were missing a plate in the room- 2 minutes after we had left. We came back only for him to say oh it’s sorted. Never going back there of referring anyone. It was disappointing.
