The street where the hotel was located smells like a massive bin, noise of the bars around were constant till early in the morning. The smell if street food was coming to the room. The only good thing was you could walk to main shopping craters and shopping areas so close to everything which you can find other hotels little bit more expensive but in a better location. This was my first and last experience with Expedia

Worst hotel ever, old and dirty…worst staff!
This is the worst service that in 20+ years traveling I have ever received. I got a confrmatiom with a picture of a room and they gave me a completely different one. When I showed them they said it was not their fault but hotels.com fault. I was coming from a long continental flight and asked the front desk to please fix it. The guy and the girl at front desk just wasted time, did not help and then the guy said to cancel that they would refund me. I booked a different hotel and they denied to have said that although there was a camera. They did not want to show the recording and the manager on the phone hanged up on me! I never got refunded!!! The property is way older than what it looks and staff is the worst I ever experienced…pool was not even accessible! A nightmare and they are very dishonest just to keep some extra money!

Check in was quick and easy. Location was great. Room was decent and clean. Buffet selection was ok but the staff was overworked as they seems to be not really that friendly. Food was out around 8.45am and there were no replenishment even buffet close at 9.30am. Guess to minimise wastage. Pillows and bed was a bit hard. Overall, can have a better choice around the hotel.

Right in the heart of nightlife but noisy till 2am
Hotel is nice downstairs and food is okay.
Staff were very friendly and very helpful.
Location wise it’s great for city trips and right opposite the night life/restaurant area.
We fancied an early night one night (2300) but literally struggled to sleep till 0200 until the noise outside quietened down (traffic noise mainly, mopeds beeping constantly etc).
Not the hotels fault at all and they did their best to move us to a quieter room so I take the blame for not researching better.
Facilities wise it lacked in February, early season but the pool was empty and the sauna shut.

Nice hotel in the middle of District 1, however it is also in the middle of a lot of riff-raff. The coffee shop downstairs is an excellent place to have a coffee and watch the riff-raff go on by. It is also next to little tokyo and a short walk to a lot of other things nearby.

We stayed for 7 nights. Unfortunately, the housekeeper only get to change our bedsheets, pillow cases & duvet on the eve of our check-out day.
It would have been great if they do it mid way through our stay.
An area that they should consider to improve on.

Pros:
Convenient location within mins walk to mall and food.
Friendly staff esp night bell boy and one receptionist who made efforts. Overall polite staff.
Nice decor in new wing but dated decor in old wing.
Cons:
Changed 3 rooms due to very horrible noise issue, faulty toilet bowl, dripping aircon in room 1.
Very dirty room, feet were black from the very dirty floor in all rooms. Mosquitos and gapping floor boards and bad odor in room 2. Stuck with room 3 to avoid hassle. But Drink stains on floor and cupboard in room 3. Faulty bath tub. Odor as well.
Horrible partition wall in new wing where street noise, music and talking from lobby and other rooms can be heard. Banging doors and toilet glass doors can be heard intermittently all day thru the night due to poor structure and material used. Couldnt sleep soundly all nights. No amenities. No room service. One Lift is often down.
Shampoo, shower cream and hand wash are all the exact same.
