If you just want a bed for a night it is fine. Definitely wouldn’t want to stay longer. Breakfast was very basic no cereal or milk, only 1 fresh fruit papaya I think. Probably wouldn’t stay again but conveniently located to airport.

It was only a brief stopover before a river cruise so didn't expect much and I guess it met expectations. Area around the hotel was a little dirty and there wasn't much to walk to. Hotel room was basic (fine) and the sheets and floor were clean. Bathroom wasn't as clean. Had a TV but it came with a 2 prong plug ??? Which makes no sense when its a 3 prong country! Breakfast very limited for western palate - no fruit or breaded things apart from toast. Overall as expected - not sure it's 3 star though

Pros are proximity to the airport, and available free shuttle to the airport as well. Otherwise an average 2 star hotel. Cons Breakfast is a buffet style with Rice, Noodles and Vegetables, and Chicken. Eggs are boiled but almost RAW. You can toast your own bread with butter and jelly. Coffee is ok. The rooms are not very clean. Ours was a Non-smoking on the 4th floor, but it smelled like cigarettes. There is Hot water in the shower. Only one half used roll of toilet paper was available. You get bath towels, but no face or hand towels are available. The neighborhood around stinks like sewer but you can find a few places to eat. Overall the place is convenient for an overnight stay before your flight.

A rundown hotel with a bad attitude

When we arrived, having booked the hotel and paid for a non-smoking room, we were given not only a smoking room, but an INSIDE smoking room, meaning it had no windows! It stank! I travel a lot, and this was the first time I've ever immediately gone back to reception and demanded a different room! They quickly assigned us a different one, on a non-smoking floor. It was twice as big and didn't smell bad and it was clean, but it was just generally worn-out: the paint, the carpet, etc. The towels were threadbare. We realized that night and the next morning that very few people were staying there, so why did they try to palm us off with a sub-standard room? No idea. Anyway, I didn't give the worst rating for the hotel staff because the people in the restaurant were very friendly at dinner and breakfast.

Booked this because it was not too far from airport, and we were arriving fairly late in day. Peeling wallpaper in room. Impossible to shower without collecting water around tub. On check in, we were told we could get room service or eat at restaurant till 10pm. Called room service around 730, was told not available. Went to restaurant, only a scant 5 item buffet available, had to go down the street to get a meal. The area is a bit sketchy, but found good food.
