This is a little gem on the seaside walk. Terrific breakfast and the staff were amazing. Also the quirky music collections were a nice added touch. The beds are a bit firm and it’s not a luxury hotel but the price reflects it.

We thought there was a problem with the air conditioning, and they responded quickly and thankfully the remote simply needed new batteries. There was some nearby music/street noise at around 9pm that would have been disruptive, but it did not go too late. Location is handy.

Despite being only three years old, the hotel looked quite dated and did not match the vibrant pictures shown online. The facilities, including the gym and furniture, appeared to be poorly maintained, which was disappointing. Additionally, the bed was uncomfortably hard, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. It's also important to note that parking is not guaranteed at this hotel, which can be a hassle for guests with cars. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and accommodating, which added a nice touch to my stay. The highlight for me was the stunning sunrise view in the morning - it was truly breathtaking. If you're not particularly interested in visiting the nearby wet market, I would recommend considering other areas, as there are many convenient options available for those with a car. Overall, I would suggest looking for other accommodations if you're seeking a more modern and comfortable experience. ##### Yolanda Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicholas 13 Dec 2025 A convenient hotel for a night before you head off on other adventures. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandy 18 Feb 2026 Rooms are clean.
