Negative Reviews
negative:
High noise levels at the hotel
Many guests who stayed at the property have complained about the noise levels especially in the morning and at night. Unruly revelers from the streets disturbed guests' peaceful time in their rooms. Those affected were of the opinion that the soundproofing wasn't perfect.
negative:
Air con system is too weak and loud
Some guests felt that the air condition at the hotel didn't perform well to their expectations. The units were quite defective and some hard to adjust to the right settings. Others emitted loud noise while running.
negative:
The pool is very small and gets crowded easily.
During peak seasons when the hotel is fully booked, the pool area can get overcrowded with guests. Many guests were put off by the congested feel at the pool. Some also felt that the pool area was closed way too early.
