Well-appointed and spacious bathrooms
A lot of guests are highly pleased because the bathrooms are enormous and spotlessly clean. They did not find any moulds on the showers or strands of hair on floors. Moreover, the water pressure is strong and stable, and the toiletries have excellent qualities.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Poor soundproofing allows noise to enter
Guests were disappointed because the walls of the rooms were not that thick. Thus, they heard sounds from the nearby rooms. In addition, they were also able to hear loud music from the pub.
negative:
Weak Internet connection and poor phone signals
Some guests have difficulties in making outgoing phone calls because of poor signals. The wireless Internet signal is also not reliable at the rooms. However, it works fine in the common areas.
negative:
Faulty heating system may cause inconvenience
The heaters do not work properly at times, so guests who stayed at this property during winter are discouraged. The staffs, though, are alert in responding to this kind of problem especially during the cold season.
