Reviews
Housekeeping was one of the biggest issues during our stay. Dirty towels were not removed, and our bed linen was never changed despite us requesting it multiple times. We asked for our room to be cleaned twice, but when we returned, nothing had been done.
Another major problem was the lack of shower gel. We requested it three separate times, yet it was only provided on the day of our check-out. As a result, we were unable to properly shower during most of our stay.
We were also surprised to repeatedly find housekeeping items left in our bathroom, including a cleaning product bottle. We handed it to a maintenance worker who came to fix our bidet on the last day, but it was later left in our bathroom again.
To make matters worse, the bidet tap was malfunctioning and would not turn off. Maintenance only came to address the issue on our final day. Even when we explained that we were checking out soon and needed time to pack and prepare for our departure, we were still expected to wait in the room while the repair was being carried out.
Overall, the lack of cleanliness, poor housekeeping service, slow response to basic requests, and disregard for guests’ time made this a very frustrating stay. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this hotel based on our experience.
Symbol of hospitality, if you want to see then then book this hotel.
The reception staff act as if I’m staying in a two-star hotel. Their attitude and responsiveness are terrible.
Housekeeping is also disappointing — they always forget towels or shampoo, or leave items dirty in the room. The floor isn’t clean and there’s dust everywhere.
There’s no hot water because they’re doing maintenance. I was late to my meeting because of the lack of hot water, and even after working out, there was still no hot water available.
Of course, we are paying significant amounts per night to receive proper service, feel comfortable, and enjoy facilities that match what we’re paying for.
I don't recommend it at all.
There's thousands of hotel can offer better services and customers care.
