In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent location for transport — Guests consistently highlight the short walk to Little Mount Metro Station (around 5–10 minutes) and the easy 10–15 minute taxi ride to the airport.
  • Helpful and accommodating staff — Several reviews single out the reception team and bellboys for being supportive and doing their best, even when other aspects fell short.
  • Clean and comfortable rooms — Guests describe rooms as clean, well-furnished, and comfortable, with amenities like air conditioning, tea/coffee facilities, and mini-bars.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Inconsistent management — Some guests report disorganisation from reception through housekeeping, and note that facilities can be poor even when staff are helpful.
  • Wi-Fi has been problematic — At least one business traveller reported no Wi-Fi access in the room, which caused significant inconvenience.
  • Not all rooms have balconies — While Club Double Rooms feature a balcony, the Classic Double Rooms do not, so guests seeking outdoor space need to book the higher category.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
