- Khairil (3/5): - Would like to refund as I stay from afternoon until evening no electricity
- Albert (3/5): - the hair of last customer still on cabinet area and around dustbin, the aircond battery poor, the aircond not clean, the toilet design is poor, no floor mate, the mattress already need to change, the sound proof poor also do renovation to attract more customer, pls use vaccum cleaner to clean the floor, the toilet need to improve.
- vince seah (5/5): Pay a little more. Have a better hotel. - Good Location to food and night entertainment Though it's old but facilities maintenance must be improved. My bed was squeaking through the night and a sunken one. The aircon was noisy and found roaches in my room. Since it was only a night, a night rest was all i need but it wasnt a satisfied rest.
- Er (4/5): 破坏了美好的一天 - 我在room 123 的厕所找不到一个位置可以让我好好的站着洗一个澡!你们酒店没有发觉吗?(真的接受不了)
- Jefry (7/5): - The tv channel
- RAINMAKER (5/5): other than the beds size ... everything else is fine but the TV has only 3 channels - the beds were too small even for Asian adults
- Jade (1/5): Je déconseille très fortement cet hôtel - L emplacement seulement Chambre ne ressemblant pas au photo. Tout est en mauvais état. Le lit était très inconfortable, je pouvais sentir les ressorts dans mes côtes une fois allongée. De plus il y avait un bruit d’écoulement très fort en plus du bruit d’une machine (climatisation générale de l’immeuble peut être) donc impossible de fermer l’œil. Je suis restée qu’une seule nuit au lieu de trois. La dame de l’accueil n’était pas surprise et ne m a pas demandé pourquoi je partais plus tôt. Elle m a simplement dit de m adresser au site de réservation pour un remboursement. Cela ne doit pas être la première fois qu’un client est déçu.

- Muhamad (1/5): Bad - The location is great for travellers. I didn't like the management and check in procedure. The time for check in is at 3.00pm. So I arrive at 3.00pm to check in. When i'm done with the registration they ask me to wait for awhile for them check the room, but I've been waiting for 30 minute! It's nonsense. The room supposedly ready at 3.00pm! All the room have to be ready before 3.00pm because 3.00pm is a time for check in. Please learn to manage time!
