First the positives: Decent sized room; clean; good natural lighting. Comfortable beds. Bathroom; good size; clean; toiletries provided. No internal noise. Effective blackout curtains.
The negatives: Very noisy outside – this is a route for 4/5 bus services and buses go past every few minutes. The windows are double glazed but don’t stop the noise completely. Impossible to keep the windows open for long, especially as there is a local hangout for youths 20m away.
The a/c wasn’t very effective but then it seemed to give up completely. When I went down to report this, the duty manager explained that they had just switched the system over from summer (cooling mode) to winter (heating mode) so nothing could be done. As our room was in full sun all afternoon, by the time we got back in the room was sweltering. Opening the window would have just let more hot air in (not to mention the noise). The manager did ask if a fan would help. Unfortunately, it was just a portable fan heater that was ineffective. So the last 3 days were very uncomfortable from early afternoon onwards.
Finally, we ere told that they only provided complimentary tea/coffee on the first day. They did however say they would try to provide occasional top-ups. I have never encountered such a policy in any hotel I have ever stayed in.
All in all, this is not a hotel I would recommend for anything or for anything other than an overnight stop.
