Cleanliness
7
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness and daily towel changes, but multiple reviews note worn hallways, stains on carpets and some scuffed/dated furniture.
Service
8.6
Generally positive: many comments about friendly, helpful staff and an attentive house cleaner; isolated reports of a rude cleaner and reception sometimes unattended, but overall staff interactions are strong.
Location
9
Very strong: repeatedly described as excellent, within walking distance to tram/main strip/Cavill Avenue, close to beach, pubs, restaurants and night markets.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed to below average: rooms are spacious with good views and some had mini-kitchens, but several guests reported tired, outdated furniture, uncomfortable mattresses and visible wear/chips.
Amenities
8.6
Solid amenities: pool, spa and gym praised and foyer looks nice; some missing/limited facilities (no guest computer) and parking is charged which detracts slightly.
Value for Money
7.5
Moderate value: described as a decent price by some and comfortable stay, though paid parking and occasional service/room issues temper perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Generally good buffet breakfast praised by many, but criticisms include poor egg variety (watery scrambled), lack of some items (e.g., avocado) and mediocre coffee quality.
Overall Experience
8.5
Mostly positive overall: many guests called it a great/beautiful/relaxing stay and would return, balancing minor issues against strong location, views and service.

Pros:

The pool area and location

Cons:

We asked to stay on a high floor & got level 3!
When we checked in there was no information about where to go to get to our room, we were just expected to know that our room number must be over level number. No information about the pool and restaurant. Just handed a piece of paper and sent away.
The room dishwasher wasn’t working. The shower head needs replacing as it was squirting water in every direction.

Nice location but expect better for the price.
Pros:

Great location and nice ocean views.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Rooms are very dated. Whilst clean the bathroom had cracked tiles, silicone covering damage and desperately need to be updated. Air conditioning vent leaked and left a wet spot on carpet. Extremely small balcony with cheap plastic furniture.

Good for a weekend only
Pros:

Location was great and breakfast was a good buffet

Cons:

The rooms and building don’t look like the photos, it’s very out dated and very old. The room had a musky smell like it had water built up somewhere. The carpet didn’t feel clean.

Great Location, everything else is not.
Pros:

The location was great. The Breakfast was also nice.

Cons:

First of all the first person I talked at reception was rude. The room is around 400$ per night yet we have to pay for parking which is ridiculous. I killed a cockroach in the kitchenette of the room.
