Categories

Cleanliness
4
Poor. Review cites threadbare broom, mop with no bucket, unserviced unit, poor-quality linen and no spares — indicates low housekeeping standards.
Service
8.5
Mixed. Host/owner responsiveness is inconsistent (took weeks for a hair dryer, slow on fan request, electricity/internet require host action), but on-site building staff and amenities appear well maintained — overall service perceived positively for common areas despite lapses with the host.
Location
10
Excellent. Review repeatedly praises the location: fantastic, close to mall, shops, supermarkets and attractions; easy Uber access.
Room Quality
3.5
Poor. The unit is on a lower floor facing busy roads and a railway (noisy), has no windows apart from patio doors, no air conditioning or fan, and suffers from mosquitoes and inadequate in-room provisions.
Amenities
9
Very good for building amenities (beautiful building, great pool and gym). However, in-unit amenities are lacking for self-catering (appliances present but no cookware, no drying rack, missing small items).
Value for Money
7
Fair. Strong location and building amenities add value, but poor room quality, missing in-unit items and service issues reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.4
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Overall Experience
9.8
Mixed but overall positive due to excellent location and building amenities; however significant in-unit deficiencies (noise, heat, lack of equipment, service lapses and intermittent utilities) notably detracted from the stay.
