Ac wouldn’t work in the room, had to ask several times for the ac to be put to the maximum and one particular front desk agent kept playing games putting it at 23 degrees then after making a problem about it puts it to 20, when the previous agent was able to do it with no issues for my friends room. They couldn’t accommodate and couldn’t compensate for any of their wrongs.

We were within walking distance of restaurants, shops & the BEACH. I didn’t enjoy the breakfast so much we were told if we order pancakes couldn’t get eggs or vice versa! But next door had great menu. Nobody really spoke alot of English so have your translation ready. Overall I enjoyed it.

The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was really good. It’s very accessible to all attractions, most taxis are only $3 fares to most attractions in the walled city. Really enjoyed staying there.

brand new hotel. restaurant was still under construction when i stayed. would have been an excellent stay but my room had no natural light. make sure to book a room with a street view. interior view will have you looking at a wall and feeling like you’re in a prison cell.

The property was fully renovated. On Thursday and Friday there was active construction, taking place in the hotel, which disturbed my sleep even after notifying the front desk I was not aware of active renovations, taking place on Expedia.

8/10

This hotel has good potential. But it’s not finished yet. No pool, no gym, but it will definitely be really nice when finished.

This was a great stay for the price. It was very clean, up to date, and in a walkable area. Close to beaches, 6 min ride to wall city and cruise port. It's next to grocery store. Only thing staff didn't tell me the drinks in the fridge wasn't free. 😂 (Guess I'm used to all-inclusive when I do beaches)

It was a nice hotel but without a pool, without having a restaurant for meals other than breakfast, no iron, no laundry service and the shower was cold but we still had good experience but there is room for improvement
Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2023

6/10

Good points: iron availabilite with no extra charge, large rooms and safe box in the room. Bad points: no hot water for first 10 minutes, very basic breakfast ( slice of watermelon and slice papaya or omelette) with small portions; airconditon controlled by reception only (you need to call to change the temperature).
