“While its exterior might benefit from a fresh coat, the interior shines, especially with its superb front desk service. Its location, a short walk from shops and markets, is a definite plus for those wanting to explore the city center. I'd certainly consider staying again, especially if in-room safes are added for extra peace of mind when venturing to nearby islands.”

Acceptable Stay. Noise and AC Issues
friendly servicewarm roomnoise problem
The front desk staff offered friendly service upon arrival.
The AC in my room barely cooled, it remained uncomfortably warm at 24 degrees. The noise was also a problem, I could hear everything from the hallway and street. It made it difficult to sleep well. These issues need addressing

fantastic stay!
excellent locationthoughtful teamnice surpriseconnecting rooms
I found the location excellent. plaza shell is just across the road. It has a fantastic restaurant there. many other restaurants, a convenience store, and even a dobi are within a 5-minute walk. the team was thoughtful and gave us connecting rooms even though we didn't ask (it was such a nice surprise!).
The light in my room felt a bit dark, and the telephone wasn't working. the slippers was like thin paper. I couldn't even wear them.
