Positive Reviews
Friendly, helpful staff
Multiple guests praised the staff for being kind, attentive and quick to assist (including helping with early check-in and clear explanations), which improved their stay.
Spacious, clean rooms with large baths
Guests frequently mentioned roomy, well-cleaned rooms and very large bathtubs that made the stay comfortable and relaxing.
Tasty breakfast and welcome services
The included breakfast (sometimes delivered at the chosen time) and other welcome services were noted as tasty and a valued part of the experience.
Good value / cost performance
Many reviewers highlighted the hotel as affordable and excellent value for money, especially given the amenities and breakfast.
Convenient in-room amenities
Rooms offer useful amenities such as big beds, fridge, microwave, in-room vending, water server and thoughtful small details that made stays convenient.
Negative Reviews
Locked-room entry system
Several guests found the lock-in concept inconvenient — once the room door is closed you must call reception to leave, which some guests felt restricted freedom of movement.
Tobacco smell / smoking rooms
A number of reviewers noted cigarette odor in rooms or that rooms are smoking-allowed; while many said the smell was mild, it may bother non-smokers.
Occasional cleanliness issues in baths
A few reports described cleanliness problems such as debris in the bathtub or misses in bath cleaning, suggesting housekeeping attention is sometimes inconsistent.
Check-in/check-out timing and extra charges for long stays
Guests mentioned late check-in start times (e.g. 18:00), mandatory early check-out or limited free-time periods for multi-night stays which can incur extra fees, reducing flexibility.
Noise and access/space constraints
Some guests experienced noise from neighboring rooms at night and noted narrow entrances/nearby roads (and limited power outlets near seating), which can be inconvenient for guests with large cars or those working on laptops.
