Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviewers explicitly call the property very clean and rooms described as 'clean' and 'très propre', though some bathroom drainage issues affected perceived cleanliness in isolated instances.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly praised as 'amazing', 'helpful' and 'supportive'; one report of unprofessional behaviour at check-in noted, but overall service sentiment is clearly positive.
Location
1
Mixed feedback: one guest called the location 'amazing for our needs' while several others noted the hotel faces a busy, noisy intersection and major traffic, reducing location appeal for some guests.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as good and spacious by some, but multiple maintenance issues (unfinished fixtures, shower drainage flooding, AC problems or absent in parts of the building) lowered room quality.
Amenities
1
Significant amenity shortcomings: roof deck and advertised facilities unfinished, pool unavailable or not as promoted, no pool towels, fire-panel alarms and ongoing construction; amenities are largely not operational.
Value for Money
1
Standard quality for this hotel tier (no explicit comments about pricing or value in the reviews).
Food and Beverage
1
Several complaints: breakfast described as mediocre to poor, advertised food not available, and limited options for Western tastes—overall negative F&B sentiment.
Overall Experience
1
Mixed-but-hopeful overall impression: guests appreciated staff and room cleanliness and some said they'd return once construction is finished; positive service/cleanliness impressions offset operational/amenity negatives for some travelers.

We will stay again when it’s completed
Pros:

Location for what we needed was amazing. Staff were amazing also

Cons:

It’s not finished. Lots of work going on around the entire building. Roof deck not finished so no access. Pool was not available. Fire panels with lots of alarms is worrying. Shower drain was not working so bathroom flooded

A strange hotel as it starts on the 2nd floor but the rooms were good and staff were nice.
Pros:

Clean rooms and nice staff.

Cons:

This is a new hotel and probably not ready to open. Some of the things you see like inside lifts were not finished and the food for a westerner is not a good choice. The food used in advertising was not available. But overall I was happy.
