"Nice hotel, need to upgrade their linens"

7.0

The staff were great, always so helpful. The hotel is centrally located. Lots of choices for breakfast.

The linens weren’t great. The sheets has some black spots, the towels smelled musty, and one of my towels had multiple long black hairs (I have short blond hair). The “firm” pillows were very soft.

"Great Experience"

10.0

Location - good. Near to gaya market Atmosphere - The bar atmosphere was great, with a wide selection of drinks, from wine to beer, to choose from. It also stays open late, so we could grab a drink before heading to bed. Rooms - The room was good. I had a very good sleep and a refreshing bath after my mount KK climb. The water pressure was good, making it comfortable to bathe and rest. The mattress and pillows were comfortable, with both firm and soft options to choose from. The soundproofing was effective, and the curtains were thick enough to block out sunlight. I was able to get ample rest throughout the day after my climb.
