Twin beds

We booked a 2 twin-bedded rooms but were given 2 rooms with double beds instead. This was not good, but 1 room was bedding was subsequently changed, and the twin beds emerged. Rooms were clean overall, although the sink in one room was not very clear, and water emptied slowly.

2/10 Poor

Disaster stay. VERY NOISY!

My young daughter and I travelled alone and shared a room. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone and definately not go back there. VERY noisy, guests party in their rooms from 11pm to 4am, non-stop. Bedroom doors are left open with loud music and guests shouting. Some guests even cooked food in their room, bringing their own slowcookers, causing power failures in other rooms!! The building is not very soundproof and any noise in the hall can be heard in your bedroom. We stayed for 4 nights and I had not much sleep during that whole time. No manager was on duty Saturday, could not take the matter up with anyone.

Avoid

Property was not clean. Stains/Marks on the floors in the foyer and in the room. Very noisy. No facilities/services available after 9pm, including no food/beverage. Very old and tired furniture. Staff seemed inconvenienced during check-in.

Save money enjoy comfort

It's one of the peacefully situated very neat and clean and comfortable. Though I live only 20km away from hotel still I book and enjoy. It's very presentable. Just needs some halaal food for Muslim people so it can be more famous to even dine there. One suggestion to the owner try to build a massive comfortable swimming pool with all luxury around the pool.
