The only challenge I had was Expedia allowed booking for 2 adults and one 15-year old child in a superior twin room when I booked. Fortunately I read the fine prints a week before arrival. However ended up added a single room at similar cost of the double. The process was a bit painful as not many English speaking staffs and they requested emailing instead. So took about 3-4 days to confirm. ##### Sin Nyap Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing hotel.
