“Good For A Short Stay To Spring Board To Your Next Destination”

Checked into Rm 1304 on 9/June/2012 The entire 13th floor had bedsheets covering the carpet along the corridor. The musty stench was as unbearable as it was unhealthy. To a lesser degree, the room had a similar stale, damp smell. The room, entire 13th floor, and I dare say, the entire hotel - has never been aired since it existed. The airconditioning, which worked well, brought a sense of relief. My eau de toilette helped overcome the moldy smell in the room. When we left the room for breakfast & to check out the next mornng, the bed sheets were removed and the carpet seemed to have been shampooed. We checked in again on 12/June/2012 - into Rm 8015. Thankfully, the corridor carpet was ok. During my stay, lobby staff - bellhop, receptionist, washroom attendant - were all cheerful, courteous and helpful. The 2 twin-bedded rooms were spacious and clean. TV worked well and lighting adequate. The hot spring shower is a great boon for guests. We had quiet rooms - no bubbling noise from the hot spring system. The elevator's floor was wonderfully designed to look like a delicate silk carpet. The coloured floral fringe enclosed a sky-like centre delicately lined with golden lines. The effect, when you enter the lift, is to enjoy a sense of walking on clouds - before being whisked to the level of your choice. Enthralling! The beds lived up to their notorious reputation for being solid hard! Still, together with the pillows and airconditioning, sleep did not evade us. No worries! The lobby is spacious with a fountain set-up in its center. A grand piano, played at night, graces the area. Adjacent to the hotel are food-streets. Here street vendors on make-shift, mobile push-carts transform that alley at night into a glutton's haven. One has to be mindful of how one's stomache can take to such open-air food fare. It is a lively, bustling scene. Worth a visit, if not to eat, at least to snap pix. Definitely an alfresco affair. At night, in front of the hotel, vendors will display their wares in the street-light glow - the sidewalk becomes a night market of sorts.... if you see in the dark what they are displaying. Interesting. A 4 minute cab-ride away is Nanya Plaza. This shopping complex boast of a Carrefour, McDonald's. Overall, the hotel is kept pretty clean. The washroom attendants are perpetually tidying up the washrooms. Seems to be a hotel where groups are roomed overnight before they move on to another destination. Nevertheless, a very good hospitality experience. One quaint observation. I was roomed in Rm 8015. There isn't a Rm 8014. Instead, it is numbered Rm 8088 - to allay supersitious concerns, I reckon.

Dans l'ensemble, la chambre et les équipements était vieux mais utilisable. Centres commerciaux entourent a élémentaires commercial qui est bien à trouver la nourriture et pour faire du shopping. 30 mn de l'aéroport. Il n'y a pas de service de chambre mais ... A la recherche du Bar à Lv5 qui était indiqué sur l'ascenseur mais nous avons trouvé une KTV pour adultes au lieu et avait dit le pub était démoli. Mais dans l'ensemble correct pour le prix. Mais j'aimerais essayer d'autres si possible.

“Je ne peux pas ouvrir les fenêtres”

Les chambres de l'hôtel sont étouffante et on ne peut pas ouvrir la fenêtre pour laisser entrer l'air frais. La salle dispose d'une grande baignoire en bois pour se tremper dans l'eau de source chaude. C'est de l'autre côté de la rue de la ruelle de la nourriture et un marché où l'on peut trouver d… Plus

Les chambres de l'hôtel sont étouffante et on ne peut pas ouvrir la fenêtre pour laisser entrer l'air frais. La salle dispose d'une grande baignoire en bois pour se tremper dans l'eau de source chaude. C'est de l'autre côté de la rue de la ruelle de la nourriture et un marché où l'on peut trouver des produits bon marché ou des snacks. Il a plu tout le temps que j'y étais, donc je n'ai pas pu explorer le quartier beaucoup. J'ai trouvé que leur centre de sauna pourrait avoir un bain de source chaude, mais il n'en a rien fait. Il y a une piscine chauffée à l'extérieur dans un hangar qu'on pourrait utiliser, mais il n'était pas très attrayante.

“Quite basic and "old" looking rooms”

The lobby was quite grand looking and I thought the rooms would be too, but no, rooms were very basic. Furniture was a bit old looking but in good conditions. To my surprise, I didn't know that a family room was two adjoining rooms. When I booked, I thought it was a big room with 3 beds. The infor… Plus

The lobby was quite grand looking and I thought the rooms would be too, but no, rooms were very basic. Furniture was a bit old looking but in good conditions. To my surprise, I didn't know that a family room was two adjoining rooms. When I booked, I thought it was a big room with 3 beds. The information was a bit unclear. Anyway, the front desk lady was ok, not much talking like explaining where the elevator was, where the hot spring pool was, etc. I found out that the hot spring pool was located outside of the hotel which is a bit inconvenient. I didn't like the look of the pool so I didn't go in it. Our rooms were on the 21st floor, so we had a good view. Our stay was satisfactory. Location was good as it was close to many big shopping centers and restaurants.

“Not really a 4* hotel”

Although the lobby is quite impressive with very attentive and helpful Bellhops, the room is really very small and basic. What was disconcerting was because the hotel sits under a hot spring, one could hear bubbling sounds and gushing waters in the room at all times. Location was central and near to shops Breakfast had limited choices with unpalatable food.
