Basically this hotel has nothing fascinating but the location is ok. The room is quite big and furniture are old.. One bad thing is their WiFi, website mention hotel provide free Wifi and when we were there, hotel staff told us only 1 person can login at a time, that's ridiculous..

Bad service, seemed dilapidated and the building was especially dark at night. Noisy air-conds, un-watchable TV, dead cockroach in the bathroom, the lift door closes within 3 seconds before you can even get out, lobby has no air-cond as they claimed it was being repaired, loose socket/power point (though usable). Luckily the WiFi provided was usable. The shower was okay.... More

I can only confirm what has gone before. Everything you need to know about this hotel is displayed on the (locked) toilet door in the lobby - "For guests only. Get keys from reception". This could be a good hotel, with a decent location and lovely roof top swimming pool and decent sized rooms. But it is just so poorly... More

Stayed for 1 night, no choice as this was the only hotel with rooms available. The room was dated and dirty, the bed and both pillows were stained. The staff are RUDE, beware of the mosquito bites at the lobby, especially when you have to wait for long due to the slow service. Be careful if you travel with kids,... More

Great location as it is close to central bus terminal but not when you're wanting to sleep comfortably after a big day. Rooms comes with breakfast but was... More

I dont understand from which planet the receptionist was employed when they cant even communicate with basic language to their customers, which is their source of earning!! Old or new building is immaterial to me as long as the service is a standard one. Furthermore among the tourisme fraternity, they dont even give a kind of attention and corncern, which... More

Not a good hotel. Room is old, the toilet is creepy and the TV is so out-dated ( 12-inch only). The air-con is too cold as it is center control. So we have to use the boards that provided beside the air-con place to block the air coming in. No wire through the whole building. It`s time to have some... More
