Pros:

I only liked the fact that was near to all hospitals, marine beach and comfortably for people traveling through train.

Cons:

There is a longer list when it comes to dislike about this hotel in this particular location. Firstly they are overly priced which may be justified due to the location. However when you are paying such huge amount of your hard earned money, all you expect is comfortable stay and good service. The receptionist calls and distrub as per their convenience even though there is strict DND in your room and you are sick. Secondly when you as ask for in room dinning plates and spoons, all they serve you cheap plates and disposable spoons. And if you ask for explanations all they say is CORPORATE POLICY.


I had better experience with other location but this location of ibis hotel was by far the worst experience.

not comfortable at night
Pros:

Good breakfast, but uncomfortably hot and suffocating rooms

Breakfast: Good quality and a positive start to the morning.

Air Conditioning: The room AC was locked at 24°C and couldn't be lowered, leaving the room uncomfortably warm and suffocating at night.

Hallway & Ventilation: The floor gallery is completely closed off with no windows, making the entire hallway feel stuffy and breathless.

Overall, despite the decent food, the lack of effective cooling and poor ventilation made for a miserable stay.

Cons:

air Conditioning: The room AC was locked at 24°C with zero actual cooling. Whether it is centrally managed or restricted, it simply does not cool the room down, leaving it uncomfortably warm and stuffy all night.
