In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Airport shuttle praised repeatedly — Many reviews highlight the efficient airport pickup and drop-off, with one guest noting the shuttle was waiting on arrival. The service is paid, but guests found it smooth and reliable.
  • Breakfast with wide selection — Guests describe the breakfast as extensive, well-prepared, and catering to various tastes, with a mix of toast, fruit, and mostly Asian dishes. In-room breakfast is also available.
  • Helpful, friendly staff — Staff are repeatedly described as wonderful, accommodating, and speaking English. Several guests mention assistance with airport transfers and general needs.
  • Comfortable, spacious rooms — Guests note rooms are clean, big enough, and comfortable, with some appreciating the separate bathtub and shower. Soundproofing and air conditioning are listed as amenities.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities rating below average — The facilities category scores 7.0, the lowest of all rating categories. While the gym is described as small, and the pool can get crowded with children, the hotel does offer a wide range of amenities.
  • Pool can be busy with families — One guest noted the pool looked nice but was packed with kids, which may not suit travellers seeking a quiet swim. Children's pool and buffet are on site, so expect a family atmosphere.
  • Comfort rating slightly lower — Comfort scores 7.3, a notch below the overall rating. This might reflect variability in room conditions or bed preferences, though most reviews praise comfort.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
