    Location was a little out of the way (15-20 min walk to main commercial part of Chaweng), though there are some shops nearby.

    The guy at reception (didn’t catch his name) really was lovely, so helpful and accommodating. The room was basic but very spacious and clean. Wi-Fi was ridiculously fast (650Mbps d/l), for the geeks!) Price was very reasonable compared to other places in Chaweng. You get good service for your money. There are some cute little kittens lurking around the area which is a bonus if you like cats.

    Turkish breakfast and Turkish omelette kind of just weren't. Great ingredients on the island that you can see in restaurants and shops 5 minutes down the road that would have made breakfast look less bleak. Dogs around the place gave the place a nice character (even when they go off howling). But dogs crying and whimpering 1 or two times a night is a chilling sound

    Staff were amazing. Always ready if you need anything: towels, water, etc. Doing the best with what they can for sure. Beach close and calm, good wifi too.

    I didn’t like the concept of it. It’s a real hostel for bagpackegs. You have to deposit 2000 or leave your passport until your leave. Would recommend for short stay.

    Good tourist location for Cawang beach with a clean and comfy room
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The bathroom is bad - there's a 15cm gap in the window that mosquitos fly in, so you have to make sure you keep the bathroom door closed 24x7 (some fly screen is much needed). Also the shower is literally aimed at the toilet and it was very hard to shower - if you turned the shower head so you didn't have to stand over/on the toilet the whole bathroom including the shelves get completely drenched There's a room service menu in the room which we ordered from - when we went to pay we were told those were the old menus from over a year ago and the new menu (which was exactly the same) was about 35% more expensive than what is advertised. There are loads of tourist restaurants nearby, but if you want some cheap local food you'll need a scooter or have to grab a grab The cleaners clean the rooms about 4:30 so for us sometimes it was a hassle to get the room cleaned which was annoying as the bathroom really needed it daily with the shower squirting water over everything

    The room was pretty good, clean, reasonable size with a balcony. The location was great for cawang beach access and had a bunch of higher end tourist restaurants nearby and also massages etc The restaurant has decent food and a good selection

    The room door won’t seal, same story about few neighbouring rooms we looked at. We used our net over bed, to keep mosquitos away. The included breakfast - very small, no matter what version you order. Only the first day we got a proper coffee, and I don’t what changed, but for the rest of our stay we were served everyday the same terrible, instant, tasteless something. A stay quality massive drop.

    Location, a beach across the street; walking distance to many restaurants, shops and pubs, 7/11 next door. Very nice staff, friendly receptionist and manager, lady receptionist very helpful.

    We arrived and there were ants in the room but they upgraded us straight away which was great. The air conditioning wasn’t amazing but still worked ok. The doors had gaps in it so felt we were bitten by mosquitoes more than another place. The shower was right under the toilet so the whole bathroom was soaked and was very small. Would recommend having its separate or even a shower curtain. Overall a very nice place to stay and a great location

    Was a great location and rooms were big. Staff were friendly.

    Constantly had the impression that the reception tried to scam us with the prices of the bikes, tours and tickets in general. Also I was quite confused, why I had to leave my passport as a deposit for the room key ?

    The room was clean and big. We had a big fridge and a small balcony. Within 15 min walk you'll reach the main streets, which is fine.

    It is not the fault of the property, but I thought they have a pool. The problem was that the smell of the smokers outside or other rooms came into our room, this was very unpleasant. Another thing is that it was very loud outside and you could hear it very well in your room.

    Breakfast was superB! You can order anything from the breakfast menu. Kids ate everything that they served and I really enjoyed the breakfast here. This hotel has way lower rating than a Varinda hotel in Lamai, but it is way better than that old place with mold everywhere.

    very noisy because of the street right next to the building, passport was taken as deposit for motorbike and when we gave the motorbike back manager said he still keeps the passport as deposit for the room key - where actually no deposit was initially requested for the key, not ok for us.

    room & bathroom is clean, price for the room was ok

    I recently stayed at a hotel that was a complete disappointment, and I feel compelled to share my experience. The photos and descriptions on Booking.com were completely misleading, presenting the hotel as a comfortable and pleasant place to stay, but the reality was the exact opposite. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was an awful smell that lingered throughout the hotel. The room itself had a creepy, unsettling vibe that made it hard to relax. To make matters worse, I encountered cockroaches and even lizards in the room, which was incredibly disturbing. It was far from the clean, cozy environment I had expected. Another major letdown was the lack of basic amenities. There was no daily housekeeping, which meant that my room was left in a state of disarray throughout my stay. This is especially frustrating for a hotel that charges high rates for such poor service. Overall, this hotel was not only far below the standards advertised, but it was also very overpriced for the quality (or lack thereof). I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I definitely won't be staying here again. It was an unpleasant experience from start to finish.

    THERE WAS NOTHING TO LIKE ABOUT IT
