The promised shuttle was not there despite 5 emails exchanged with the hotel reception The replacement taxi charged 15 to travel 3 km The guard broke one of my suitcases while unloading it from the taxi The cramped room had no window to the outside. There were cockroaches all over the bed The restaurant staff had no training
The location was excellent, as I needed to get to the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful and assisted with my transfer. The hotel takes credit cards, which was a big help to me.
The hotel is lit with many different color lights, making it a bit hard to navigate in the dark. The power cut off 2x during my 6-hour stay and it wasn't possible to get back onto the wifi without going back to reception and getting a coucher code, so I had no wifi from 2 hours after I checked in. The AC didn't really work at all, even though it was on. I couldn't charge my phone or laptop in the outlets, and I don't know why. My bedside light didn't work. The dinner in the restaurant was pretty horrible- very tough chicken and overcooked fries.
Meals were good and readily available in the restaurant. The room was comfortable enough for our needs. The manager was quick to replace a broken shelf in the bathroom. This hotel is close to our teaching venue and therefore quite convenient for us.
Better coordination between the realities of the hotel amenities and the listing on booking.com would have been helpful. The main thing the bathroom could benefit from is a shower curtain to keep water from splashing onto the toilet. A strong WiFi signal on the second floor of rooms would be a major improvement.
The hotel's staff is very kind and helpful
