Reviews
Overview:
- Rooftop: rooftop area was a disappointment to say the very least - I found moldy cups, garbage everywhere, scent of urine, and broken floor boards clearly a tripping hazard (photo attached). Additionally, as other guests have indicated, the pool is very small.
- Room: rooms feel outdated and while the main surfaces were clean, area like fans and hidden nooks were visibility dusty and neglected over time. The A/C rattles creating noise.
- Gym: did not use; however, checked it out. Small but has what you’d need. It’s clean, cool, and has free water.
- Security: Building is easily accessible from the street - a person could easily walk in to use amenities (or worse) as there’s nothing preventing them from entering the building. We believe the rooftop had external guests (speculation) as they left abruptly and suspiciously as soon as we entered.
- Location: Great location. 12 minute walk from public transportation and very walkable to main attractions.
- Staff: Front desk staff upon check-in was condescending, and made a direct comment to her colleague making fun of us for thinking that we could use drivers license when “ID” was requested since “passport” was not specified. This could have been a simple misunderstanding on our end, but ended up directly impacting our sentiment of the hotel upon check-in.
External/Location Factors (For Future Guests to Consider):
Noise Disturbance: While not the fault of the hotel, the stay was impacted by external noise, including loud construction and yelling outside at 3:30 AM from construction site which made getting adequate rest challenging.
Future guests should be fully aware of these significant drawbacks before booking especially provided the high cost of the hotel.
The breakfast is quite good, except for the tea. It only opens at 07:30. So, it's sometimes difficult when you have early appointment.
I appreciated the parking lot, even though the parking spot are not so big if you drive a van or a big car.
If I have the opportunity, I would return to this location.
On Saturday evening, there was a party organized in a bar / restaurant nearby. If it happens, don't expect to sleep with the windows open.
