Guest Reviews
- Viktor G (10/5): The best cost VS value proposition in the area - Everything: staff is helpful, kitchen/cafe area is big, comfortable, great coffee machine with different coffee options and even hot chocolate and I was able to get some even before checking in, large comfortable rooms, nice bathroom....location is good too - stores and restaurants in 5-10 min walk n/A
- Wayne (10/5): -
- Broda (8/5): - It was clean, staff friendly and accommodating
- Eunmi (9/5): - 친절하시고 깨끗하고 아침식사도 좋았음
- Brett (9/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): - Very clean, staff were remarkably efficient, and the pool area seemed well kept. There were some fixtures in the room that were loose and it took a very long time for hot water to start coming through the shower.
- Sandra (3/5): - Breakfast/location good Over priced for 2nights around 515.00$
- Brent (8/5): - Shopping Back door not working properly
- Brent (8/5): - Proximity to shopping The creepy security guard that was always messing around with the back door
- Lois (8/5): -
- Aleksei (8/5): -
- Grace (10/5): -
- Romanciuc (5/5): Aside from a pleasant breakfast experience, the stay was disappointing due to poor service, lack of - I want to highlight that the breakfast experience was excellent, the staff in the kitchen were warm, smiling, and genuinely hospitable. That was the only part of the stay where I truly felt welcomed and enjoyed my time with my daughter. From the moment we arrived, I noticed the reception condition could have been better, there were visible stains on the sofa, which didn’t create a good first impression.
At check-in, the staff member was polite, but she seemed very busy or possibly stressed. I asked about early check-in and was told it was available for a fee, which is completely understandable. However, the emphasis on the payment was repeated several times, which felt unnecessary. I also asked about a possible $50 discount and was told it didn’t apply because I booked through Booking.com. It left me with the impression that guests who don’t book directly are not equally valued, and there was no attempt to offer any alternative or gesture to make the stay more comfortable.
In the room, the toiletries provided were insufficient, only one small shampoo, one conditioner, and one soap for two people. For a stay with my daughter, this was not adequate. When I requested more shampoo the following day, I was initially given just one additional bottle, despite it being clear that more would be needed. I had to ask again for extra items, which made the experience feel unnecessarily uncomfortable.
At checkout, the interaction was particularly disappointing. The staff member was on the phone and only asked, “Check out?” without making eye contact or acknowledging us further. There was no “thank you,” no sense of hospitality, and no effort to close the experience on a positive note. It left me feeling overlooked and undervalued as a guest.
In my experience, it’s the people who define a place, and unfortunately, most interactions during this stay did not meet expectations. I’m sharing this honest feedback in the hope that it helps improve the guest experience moving forward.

- Andrea (6/5): - Location was great for us, especially visiting family at the hospital. Rooms were nice and clean. Top step of the pool was incredibly slippery. I took one step down and slipped and fell, bruising my tailbone and scraping my feet on the way down. Was very close to hitting my head. If I was further along in my pregnancy it could have been bad. Be very careful. Otherwise the facilities were well kept.
