Looks great was not worth it.
Was meant to be busy great hotel for solo travel- my friend told me about it. I arrived at 6pm and it was very quiet. I went to microwave food and there was a cockroach near the microwave (single but still disgusting as were all the dishes so this put me off going breakfast). There were very young boys on the roof looked about 12? I went out at 9pm as still dead people in the lift said the same, came back at 11pm and the front bar area was full but with couples it was not bustley just busy and back bar had 4 people in so I showered. The toilet in the room didn’t lock (as a woman who needed it to lock) I told reception and they said there were communal showers and toilet. There was one toilet (seemed like mens as no bin and only men using the 3 showers on that floor that were “communal”) I really wasn’t impressed with my stay. The shower was good in the room but there was a slat loose in the ceiling which made me feel uncomfortable as if someone could look through it? Could have stayed 4 nights very glad I only stayed one as it’s far away and really did not meet expectations. I’ve been travelling for 4 weeks to many countries this looks the best but really is not.

Good stay. The lift was extremely slow. Had to keep going down to see reception about a number of things and it took forever due to the lift. My card stopped working and I had to wait 20 mins in the line at reception due to other people checking in. They should have a line just for quick fixes. The location was great.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location away from heards of tourists but all attractions easily walkable. Great food options nearby and seems to be a quiet and safe neighborhood. Staff were not particularly friendly or helpful, nor did they explain where hangout spots etcs were located in the building, nor did they encourage socialising which is a must when travelling alone and staying in a hostel. I was declined entry to breakfast area despite buying a coffee, but where else would you meet fellow travellers!! The rooms are a good set up with great water pressure. However, the room could be cleaner , especially the bed frames as they probably haven't been cleaned since installation. The bed sheet could also be fitted as constantly having to adjust it. Not impressed with having to buy a towel, most travellerd have to pack light so it should be basic necessity (take a deposit). I'm a little concerned with health and safety. Having got up to turn the lights out I heard commotion in the hallway. It was only when I opened the door I heard an alarm to vacate the building. No guidance at all - no one knew what was going on. Turned out to be a false alarm but the problem is you can't hear the alarm from inside the room (517) which is quite freighting if it was a real emergency. Overall too large to care for travellers experience. If you think the self check-in will bypass the long queues at reception, think again, as you'll need to collect key and pay taxes at reception afterwards anyway so pointless!

We had a private room with terrace on the 8th floor which was perfect! Room was basic but really modern, clean and great temperature with a/c especially in the heat while we were there. The hotel is very modern and eclectic with a good buzz about it all the time. Everything we were doing was within walking distance and the area is great. Highly recommend
