molto sporco e rumoroso, posizione comoda
Pros:

La posizione è comoda, al massimo 20 minuti a piedi da tutte le attrazioni

Cons:

La pulizia, la seggetta del water era piena di schizzi di pipì , l’odore della stanza era forte, non saprei dire di cosa. Le lenzuola macchiate . La stanza era la 107 la finestra della camera dava su un corridoio dove la notte c’era la luce accesa quindi avevi parecchia luce in faccia. La moschea si trova nella porta accanto all’hotel, a qualcuno potrebbe dar noia il rumore che è molto forte. Ti danno solo un mazzo di chiavi. La doccia è tutt’uno con il piccolo bagno.
Direi che invece di un tre stelle corrisponde a una stella. Molto caro abbiamo speso 30 euro per una matrimoniale senza colazione per un 3 stelle (ma potrebbe essere 1 stella) mentre a Kuala Lumpur per un 5 stelle molto bello con colazione pazzesca per 2 persone abbiamo speso 50 euro

Pros:

The location is good.

Cons:

Parking will be a problem during peak season as parking Infront of the hotel is limited to 3-4 cars. The noise from the main road is unbearable, as the room assigned to me, the windows are directly facing the main road, very noisy A mosque directly next to it may be a problem for some.

VERY BAD
Cons:

I found this hotel online and thought the design looked nice, but the actual experience was very disappointing. The hotel felt dark and empty, and the restaurant was not operating. My room had several moths and the bed was not clean. There was no hot water in the bathroom, and when I asked the staff, the response was unfriendly and unhelpful. The staff told me not their problem can you believe that.
I was also woken up at night by loud sounds from outside, and the poor soundproofing made it hard to sleep. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel based on my stay.
