The management has poor communication skills and offered no assistance. We requested online payment, but they insisted on cash.

The guest experience

9.6out of 10
862 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Friendly, helpful staff (several named and praised)
  • Central, convenient location (bus stop at hotel)
  • Excellent breakfast/morning buffet (though some found it pricey)
  • Shuttle service available
  • Family/kid-friendly
  • Early check-in and accommodating reception

Worth knowing — Price issues: higher rate than booking and perceived poor value · Hidden deposit required and reports of incomplete refund · Rooms feel aged/worn (scuffs, chipped tiles, peeling paint) · Noisy corridors and front door lock problems · Breakfast/food prices considered expensive by some · Housekeeping practice concerns (flipping sheets for reuse)

How guests scored the stay

  • Service10.0

    Very strong service: multiple guests praised staff by name, highlighted helpful, courteous and accommodating reception, early check-in and attentive assistance with luggage.

  • Location10.0

    Excellent central location: many comments about close proximity to city attractions, bus stop right by the hotel and useful shuttle service.

  • Amenities10.0

    Positive amenities: shuttle service and family/kid-friendly facilities noted; staff provided access to the lounge during delays — overall amenities perceived helpful.

  • Overall Experience10.0

    Very positive overall: many repeat guests and enthusiastic thanks to staff; high satisfaction despite isolated issues with value and room wear.

  • Food and Beverage9.7

    Generally praised (fantastic morning buffet cited), but some guests felt breakfast was unreasonably expensive.

  • Cleanliness9.4

    Generally reported as clean, but guests noted worn details (scuffed furniture, faded textiles, chipped tiles, peeling paint) and at least one concerning housekeeping practice (flipping sheets).

  • Room Quality9.1

    Mixed: rooms are clean but show age and wear; some guests reported cramped layout for three people, noisy corridors/front door issues and less pleasant views for certain rooms.

  • Value for Money8.6

    Weaker: several guests complained about pricing (rate shown on Booking doubled), an unexpected deposit requirement and deposits not fully refunded; breakfast also described as expensive.
