Negative Reviews
negative:
Minor issues with cleanliness & smell of bathrooms
Guests complained because they saw moulds in the showers and smelled extreme moisture or urine in the bathrooms. The supply of hot water is a hit and miss too. You can highly rely on the staff to fix things or clean the bathrooms again as soon as possible, though.
negative:
Unstable Wi-Fi connection is disappointing
Plenty of guests noted that the Internet access is slow in the rooms. It works in the common area at times, but it is still unreliable and unstable.
negative:
Various kind of noise can be heard in the rooms
The rooms are not properly soundproofed, as guests can hear chatter from nearby rooms and noise from the road. However, guests also added that the sounds were tolerable most of the time so they still had a decent sleep.
