Did get 2 king sized beds after I called and asked. All 5 people had to share one bed so some slept on the floor with the sheet as a blanket. Couldn’t go to reception because we checked in right before closing time

Well other than the fact that it was cozy. some of the basics like water, wasn't provided. Shower check should be done before you assign the room to someone. The shower of our room was broken and they had to transfer us to another room. The hotel is too big and there are to multiple ways to go about your room, so be ready for a lot of walking if the room is far away from the entrance. And the swimming pool, something i was looking forward to, wasn't clean at all and was closed.

I was surprised at the size of the rooms—they were very generous. The decor could use an update, but for the price, it was very good. I definitely would stay again and recommend it to others.

Miserable stay, lights are broken, air con noisy and bathroom had plumbing issues. It started flooding once using the shower and made it unbearable to stay. We were given another room to stay but again same problems, noisy air con and the bed was broken too. We were charged for two nights even though we only stayed one night since it was that bad we wanted to leave and stay somewhere else. We were promised a refund and they didn't even cooperate with that. I had to always initiate conversation and they have the same excuse its upto the owner who is based in India. A clear breach of Consumer Guarantees Act by this hotel. We stayed February 2025.
