Although price was right and front staff were friendly the day prior didn’t do cleaning of our room and didn’t want to provide an extra blanket when requested. Overall if looking for a place to sleep great. Otherwise look elsewhere.

The hotel provided 24/24h water and soft drinks for free. But there was no electric light in the bathroom sink. There was a hood without a stove. And the window was very small. Its insulation is excellent and the staff very kind.

Nice clean room with daily tidy up service, free drinks at the entrance. However, the refrigerator in my room was not working, the male staff was helpful but the other female staff were just so so. The hotel is actually a bit far from city centre and it took me nearly two hours to get there from the airport. Beware of the 7-11 staff downstairs when u top up your pop card and make sure u get a receipt of the balance of your pop card to make sure the amount they put in is the amount u gave them to top up the card.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Had to book this room last minute due to previous one having mold and completely dirty. This one is nice, the staff doesn’t speak any English which was hard. They ended up charging for my son even though the room showed on Expedia is accommodated three people. There is a small 7/11 downstairs which was nice for those late night munchies. The room is a nice size for three people. The shower has no curtains so water gets everywhere and the beds are horribly hard. Felt like I was on the floor with a small pad like in Japanese style sleeping. The beds did have electric heating which you need because the heater only has AC. Worst part is my daughter stayed back one day after having food poisoning and called me crying saying two men came into the room said “oh she’s in here!” And left then a few minutes later a woman came in and then walked out. I called the hotel and they said they have a matching that tells them when guest leave their room! Why they need this was very stretchy. I told them to stop going into my room cleaning had already been done and there was no reason for them to be in there. Again good size room, food places in walking distance. Way too far from anything touristy.
