Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pretty good stay overall at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered great views from the large windows, making the experience quite enjoyable. However, I was disappointed that the gym and pool were closed during my visit for disinfection, which I understand but still missed. The location is lively and perfect for anyone wanting to explore the nightlife, but the dining options could definitely use some improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were pretty comfortable and had all the essentials, and I appreciated the cleanliness. However, the service could use some improvement as the staff seemed inexperienced at times. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the nightlife and it's close to a big mall. The dining options were a bit lacking, especially at breakfast, but the overall value for money felt decent.
The hotel is in a lively area that really caters to nightlife enthusiasts, making it perfect for an exciting getaway. The rooms are ultra-modern and surprisingly quiet despite the surrounding party scene. I did experience some rudeness during payment collection, and the breakfast selection could use improvement. However, the price was fantastic, offering great value for such modern accommodations.
I stayed at the hotel and found it to be quite a mixed bag. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, it felt like I rolled the dice on the layout. The service was generally good, with helpful staff, but the dining experience left a lot to be desired. The location was buzzing with life, perfect for anyone looking to have a fun time out. Overall, it has its perks, but there are some things that could definitely be improved.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-decorated, which I appreciated. However, the air conditioning was quite outdated and not adjustable, which made it uncomfortable at times. The service was mostly satisfactory, but I encountered some rudeness when it came to payment. Overall, it's a decent place to stay, especially for those looking to enjoy the vibrant local nightlife.
