What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Convenient Food Options

During my stay, I really appreciated the convenience of having Ayamku, a fried chicken outlet, right next to the lobby. It was perfect for quick meals and I found myself grabbing a bite there a few times. The smell of fried chicken wafting through the lobby was always tempting, and it just made my stay feel a little more comfortable.

Lobby WiFi Access

I was on a business trip and found the lobby WiFi access to be a necessity. Although it wasn't available in my room, getting the password from the receptionist was easy. I could set up my laptop on the lobby seating, which allowed me to get plenty of work done during my downtime between meetings.

Comfortable Rooms

My room had a decent layout, and I found the bed to be quite comfortable. While the air conditioning controls were a bit tricky, the overall room setup allowed for a good night’s sleep, which I greatly appreciated after long days of travel and meetings.

Easy Parking Access

The hotel had an easy-to-access parking area, which made my arrival and departure smooth. I didn't have to worry about finding a spot and could park my car conveniently. It made my stay hassle-free, especially given I had numerous meetings to attend around town.

The hotel is conveniently located right above a supermarket and next to a fried chicken outlet, which is great for last-minute shopping and food. However, the absence of in-room Wi-Fi was a major inconvenience, and the cleanliness of my room left much to be desired. While the staff were friendly and accommodating, the overall experience was quite average.

The hotel has a great location that makes it easy to access various areas, including a big sundry shop and a fast food joint next door. However, the rooms need significant improvements as they are dirty and worn out, and I struggled with the air conditioning during my stay.

The hotel has a convenient location situated above a supermarket and close to various shops, making it ideal for quick errands. However, the lack of in-room Wi-Fi and the need to go to the lobby for connectivity is quite frustrating, especially for business travelers. Additionally, the rooms are showing signs of wear and could use some updating. The friendly staff adds a positive touch, but overall, it wasn't the most pleasant experience.

My recent stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the staff members were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the cleanliness of my room left much to be desired. The location is quite convenient, with easy access to nearby shops and eateries, but the lack of in-room Wi-Fi and some outdated facilities are drawbacks. Overall, it's a decent option if you're not too picky about comfort.

The hotel is quite average; its location is a major plus with easy access to shops and food options right next door. However, the lack of in-room Wi-Fi and dated facilities really affected my stay. While the rooms are decent and the air conditioning works, I felt that it needs a good renovation. Overall, if you're just looking for a budget-friendly option with a great location, it might work, but I'm not sure I'd return without some updates.
