Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, some even featuring separate bedrooms like an apartment. The pool is generally appreciated, and a gym is available for those wanting to keep active. Breakfast offers tasty choices from a menu, and it's worth noting that a few guests found the bathrooms a bit dated. The hotel's location, while not right in the center, allows easy access to attractions via a short Grab ride.

Spacious And Convenient

The accommodation offered easy airport accessibility. I found check-in to be smooth with helpful staff. My room was particularly spacious, supplied with amenities like showers, a microwave, and a fridge. The location suited me since it was slightly away from the town center, allowing me to discover authentic restaurants and a great massage place nearby.
The sounds included knocking and drilling. I could even hear the noise at the swimming pool.

the breakfast included tasty options. the desk offered drinks and snacks for purchase around the clock (that was convenient).
the pool was mainly in the shade, so it was not very warm. i didn't realize there was a rooftop terrace until i was leaving (this could have been advertised better).
