A lot of road noise. Asked about this before checking in and they said rooms are at the back and not a lot of road noise but the rooms are not at all quiet. No one on-site after 5p. Many stairs and no one to assist you. No where to eat in the evening. Room had no amenities like shampoo. Not great value for money.

Not worth even the cheap price - not reliable

I would NOT recommend staying here. Its a semi converted former apartment building on the side of a busy highway with nothing good around. All the furniture was falling apart and the air conditioner never cooled the room down to the temperature we set it, even running all night. It's a 6 minute drive to the airport, but the hostess was going to charge us $20 to get a ride there through their "shuttle." (Uber was closer to $8, but we couldn't verify our account since we didn't have cell service). The driver was supposed to pick us up at 7 am and never arrived. The hostess was nonrespsonsive when we tried calling and messaging when we were in our moment of need. There weren't taxis in the area to flag down and thankfully a neighbor helped us out by calling someone. The "cafe" on site was closed - she claimed it closed early that day but it wasn't open by 7:30am by the time we left - i doubt it's actually functional. Only one small trash can in the bathroom, no TV, no fridge, no shampoo or conditioner. No recycling. The building is super hot including the "lounge " area downstairs. We were given 5 metal keys to get into our one room walk up on the third floor. The main door is for a business with an extra gate and was difficult to open. Outside, Dogs fought and barked and chickens and rooster made noise all night.

Not a pleasant stay

I was stazing for 3 nights but was asked to change rooms after the first night because of a booking mistake they made. So I packed everything to move rooms and then the new room wasn't ready. I asked for a refund and was told the new room is an upgrade because it has a second room and kitchen. I didn't need a second room and would have prefered the first room, which was sunlit and spacios. The second had no windows, the second room was empty other than a bed and the wall was definetly not fit for guests (electric peaking out) so I. didn't use the extra room. Kitchen was nice but barely equipped and the missing windows (no sunlight!) were not good. When I came back my door (which I had locked) was open and. upon asking I was told the cleaning lady went in unasked and forgot to lock it while I was gone. Hair and dirt on the floor and hair on the pillows. The staff was friendly but told me she wants to quit and the owner was absolutely not helpful. Also: No reception, just staff working in the attached cafe but no proper check in or similar.

The host was very friendly and helpful. The bakery had gluten free options. The hotel was very noisy: highway noise, water pipes vibrating loudly, roosters and dogs. The door locks didn't work. No soap. No mirror close to a plug-in.

It is very small building by the highway. Terrible sound of car and trucks passing by deprives travelers from sleeping.

The place felt safe, staff were friendly and the room was very clean, properly equiped. Only negatives were the loud noises coming from the highway right in front and the fact that nothing is really walkable from there, you have to have a car or call a taxi. But for a night just before going to the airport it was great!

I liked that the hotel was away from the busy town and had a cute cafe. I used to stop by for my favourite ice coffee but they didn't have the ice coconut coffee anymore and the furniture and decor has been less appealing. The three flights of stairs was kind of a bother, especially if you have a few heavy luggage and you have to make a few trips. I had a hard time getting out of my room because the door knob came off, minor fix but for someone else it might be a big problem for their security. Breakfast was included but was mediocre. Taxi was over 12000 colones, 24 USD for a five minute ride. Nice driver but too expensive.

Place needs some attention

At first I thought the bed was broken, but no, it was just missing an entire wood slat, what is frankly ridiculous considering how easily this can be replaced the same day from a nearby hardware store. The interior bedrooom door handle popped off with the door closed, thankfully I was able to get it back on and open the door, what can also be replaced easily and cheaply. The bathroom sink has a fairly bad leak, but the solution was to put a to-go container under it rather than to fix it. Likewise the shower handle had a massive leak so pressure is directed away from the shower head. Then, I chose this hotel in part because they have a coffee shop downstairs that was supposed to open at 7am and have breakfast, but no, I was told they would show up at 8am despite the sign saying 7am, so I left hungry.
