Very small room, only 9 m2. The photo is deceptive and it does not say anything about it on the web site. You could only just walk around the bed.
Wardrobe, was a small rail above the small fridge on the work top. No space for anything.
We only had 1 pillow each and asked for another one, but were told no there are no more and use the cushions, which was unacceptable.
The only positives are. Very clean, nice hot shower and quiet A/C during the night.
Unfortunately, we would not stay again.

Best place to get away from busy life. Staff is good but we did not get any engagement in the hotel so that’s why.

Good location
The hotel location is good and price is reasonable. However, if you need a early rest at night, it is impossible here since the music from the neighborhood will continue to 11:00pm.

Floorings a tad dirty
Bathroom shower handles had algae, the hand soap is in a plastic bottle btw
Air conditioning shuts off in 10 hours btw and it’s not very cold btw
There’s a loud engine sound everywhere and wifi only works when you’re at the door

The hotel is well located and at walking distance of main attractions. Also, very close to the bus station. But there is a bar next to it with live (and loud) music until late at night every night. Rooms with balcony face straight to the bar. Not recommendable for people that want to sleep early.

While it stated that it was close to Komtar, it was, but there’s nothing much worth seeing or doing there unless you have little kids. Otherwise, this hotel is far from restaurants unless you want to eat all the time at the street vendors. There are also no bars unless you go to one of the nice high rise hotels. So the location is not really that great.

Love this place!
Loved staying here! The hotel has a beautiful aesthetic and they stick to it - from the outside to everything inside - it’s gorgeous even though it’s a bit on the small side. Perfect for solo/duo travelers. Even better if you’re the kind that enjoys music because right next door is the “hideaway” area (which our room’s balcony actually opened out to) which is like an open air area with food and drink vendors, with music every night. There are also loads of shops, great restaurants, cafes and even the mall is quite nearby. Overall, i have absolutely no complaints and having to store your slippers before going up to your room is a small price to pay for how clean the place is because of it

Didn’t stay
Although we booked this hotel, we didn’t’t end up staying. We found the room much too small, plus there was no wardrobe, just a rail above the desk (and kettle). We didn’t know you had to leave your shoes in the lobby before booking. The roadworks outside (although temporary) were the last straw so we stayed elsewhere. The receptionist was great about it, explaining that it’s more a backpacker’s place, which we are not. The receptionist was great and suggested we claimed a refund, so fair enough to the staff on-site.

I stayed in this hotel for an entire week, not once did anyone come to clean the room. The wifi is terrible, it cuts off regularly and when it does work it's sub 10mbps. There was no hot water, it's lukewarm at best. I didn't mind most days since it's so hot out but it's rather uncomfortable when you come back after a long day out and have already cooled down to then take a cold shower. Then there's the shoe policy, you must take them off and store it in a locker on the ground floor before going to your room. The room itself is small AF, there's nowhere to put or hang up your clothes... I mean this literally, there's like a little space on the counter where the fridge sits. The only good thing about this hotel is the location.
