Reviews
It’s a family business but they need to improve in service and management
It is about 1.5km to the main bus stop, so you have to walk up a slight hill
The staff at this hotel are very bright and friendly
There are no problems with the people, but the facilities are old
I understand that they are putting in effort in management, but there is a limit
The air conditioner is noisy and seems to have little life left
The breakfast is edible
The parts that were really hard to endure or that I don't understand were
1. The SIM card and the Wi-Fi didn't work in the room
I couldn't do anything
I understand why people were in the lobby
The next day, I checked in at another hotel nearby, but the Wi-Fi worked
I was so shocked that it didn't work in my room either
2. I don't know the standard for amenities
After checking in, I checked that there was no toothbrush or toothpaste
It was almost midnight, so I went to the lobby
But there was no one there to manage it, so I waited for more than 10 minutes and they didn't come
I was looking around so much, and another guest, an old man, asked why and
I said I needed a toothbrush and toothpaste, so I told him to go to the supermarket and buy them Came
I went to take off my clothes and went in to shower, but there was no body wash??
There was only shampoo and body lotion
There are many hotels that do not provide toothbrushes and toothpaste, so I understand
But this is the first time I've seen a case where there was only shampoo and body lotion and no body wash
I even thought that the amenities were samples
I felt very bad and I took two showers with shampoo
3. The shower space for one person is too small
Big men can't shower
It's too small even if it's small
4. There was something that I don't know if it was men's underwear or shorts wandering around on the terrace
I don't know who it was, but I don't understand why there was something like that there.
