The room was comfortable and spacious. Sheets are clean and housekeeping is daily. Couch has multiple stains, possibly food possibly couch does not get cleaned. Friendly staff and English speaker was always available for guests and visitors. Chromecast was available upon request at no additional charge. Pool and gym area is clean and maintained very well. Front entrance and back entrance is easily accessible to taxi and uber drivers. Two subway stations are located very close. 2 convenience stores are close by as well as a chicken spot that is open late. Very close to dundun mall, walkable distance to multiple olive youngs, mimi line and nyu nyu.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which felt new and was very clean. The location was incredibly convenient, offering easy access to attractions and public transport. However, the surrounding area could be a bit cleaner, and there was an occasional sewage smell. I also noticed a bit of dust in the room, likely from the bed, but overall, it was a good experience.

I did not feel like it was a 5 star hotel. I would say maybe a 4 star. There’s too many restrictions for fitness gym and the swimming pool for example you have to wear a swimming cap within the swimming pool as well as be 20 years old. The breakfast is definitely not worth the money. The sewer right in front of the entrance smells really bad every time you enter or exit the hotel. The hotel should fix the fine details and rules if they want to be called 5 star hotel. Staying here with 2 teenagers was a big mistake since it is not a family oriented hotel.

I like the size of the junior suite and the round shaped bath tub is very nice. Very accessible to 3 lines of metro. The concierge is helpful. But a junior suite on the 3rd floor is ridiculous, I can hear the noise from party revellers at night, woken up by construction in the day. And the lifts are nonsense. I have never stayed in a hotel that required me to wait in the lobby for a lift for more than 5 mintues and not because it is crowded but it is slow.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place was horrendous and definitely not worth for the amount their charge. Initially I was given a room with a massive smoke smell, which you could smell from the hall. When asked to change it, they sent someone who said: ‘I can’t smell anything’ - ??? - then moved to another room where the door closet didn’t close properly and the internal lights were kept on, disturbing my sleep. Overall is a badly designed room, where the light system in general is confusing, super noisy with the bathroom fan and a shower that it doesn’t warms up properly. Also not to mention the ridiculous rules to use the pool. It’s not welcoming, it’s not comfortable and it costs a lot. Defeats the whole purpose of a holiday.
