Not what I was expecting. Very disappointed.

There were bugs in the room. There is no iron or ironing board in the room and the ironing board they brought in did not have a cover. The floors were separating and everything was run down and did not look like the photos. Left the hotel right after seeing the room and was able to find somewhere else to stay.

The team was helpul. The acted upon the complaints. The tolet lid was broken. The room was not cleaned. We still could see the hairclip from previous occupent. The quilt looked run down completely to the ectent that we got itchiness once we got into the bed. The team stated pumping water into the tank at 2 am in the moning creating noise that we could not sleep. On complaining they switched it off. So overall not a pleasent stay.

Unpleasant

I am disappointed since the pictures when i booked the room were telling a different story from what we experienced. There was cockroach in the room as well as in the bathroom that i reported to the hotel staff to which they replied, it will be cleaned in the morning and i had to leave in the morning. No microwave in the room, i guess it is because they don't allow outside food in premises. There was quite disturbance during midnight when we were struggling to sleep, i guess staff was chit chatting in the corridor where our room was and they can be heard easily from inside the room also bathroom door was making a sound when open or close which was not good when you use it during the night when others were sleeping. Room has a smell of moisture, there were mosquitos in the room. Cleanness is the main issue. Honestly, it is not worth the money i paid.

The room wasn’t the cleanest but we didn’t expect much from the price. The showers drain look like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. It was full of hair and gunk which caused it to flood up to the top of your feet when used. the thing that got me though was when my friend needed an emergency er visit in the early morning they told us before I took her we needed to pack our stuff and get it out of the room if we were gonna be back after check out time. Mind you this was an EMERGENCY.. the staff was so inconsiderate

Modest hotel, nice little amenities

The hotel is located in a relatively quiet area. The staff were helpful and nice. Nice, large bathroom, so that's good. Had a refrigerator, offered a free bottle of mineral water and gave us slippers. For the price, these are very nice amenities in this area. HOWEVER, I had a lot of trouble with the wifi.

Not even a 3 star hotel!

This is not a 4 Star hotel - beware! Emblem Hotel must have been a nice property many moons ago but is completely neglected. See images. Bed staff, towels are grey and stained. The walls and floors are dirty with dust streaks and grime. We could not take showers as it was a smaller sacrifice than facing the filth in the bathroom. The hot water run brown. A water leak from the BD filled the floor with a large paddle and we had to mop with a towel before using the stained toilet. Some lighting fixtures hung inclined on one screw. The rooms are dark as many lamps don't work. Walls are dirty with streaks of shoes etc. The curtain did not roll up with the string and hotel staff showed us how to hang it into the defective string. One night, the complete curtain fell on the floor because the Velcro gave away. Most guests left their doors open and had loud chats with their frequent visitors. The constant street noise was always present. The loud noise and chatting from the kitchen stopped only after we complained at midnight. The garbage smell from the kitchen reeked into the room when the window was opened. The mattresses is a hard box spring with a 1" thin layer from material close to black Scotch Brite barbecue cleaning pads (bound coconut husk?) It felt like sleeping on card board over ceramic cups. We had to sleep on our blankets and cover with towels and clothes. Woke up with back ache. Staff was friendly but not capable of solving any issue.

The pictures online did not reflect what the room looked like. The pictures made it look larger than it was. The room we reserved said it could fit up to 5 people. There is no way that is possible. The room was also not very clean. I have traveled extensively through Asia so it was not the worst room I have stayed in but it definitely wasn't very clean. The wifi was also not reliable. This is a necessity for us. I will not stay here again.
