The hotel was clean and nice, with spacious rooms that were stocked up and cleaned daily. The service was incredibly helpful, friendly, and polite, making it a great choice for solo travelers. The location was convenient, close to the Central Market and a shopping mall, offering a relaxing escape from the city buzz. The dining experience was satisfying, with a buffet featuring many options. The pool area and restaurant provided a fantastic retreat, and the hotel was very close to the market.

The hotel offers really comfortable and pristine rooms with a great social atmosphere, although some staff members were not as nice.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with comfortable balconies, a large and well-designed swimming pool, and a canteen. While the rooms were clean and the pool inviting, some areas needed maintenance. The service was friendly, but lacked energy and activities. The location was excellent, slightly away from the riverfront hustle but still within walking distance of attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory, although improvements in variety were needed. Overall, a good value for money stay.

I had a fabulous stay at this hotel! The rooms in the new building were spacious and comfortable with a really spacy bed and fantastic pillows. We enjoyed relaxing next to the best pool, and the air conditioning and ventilator worked perfectly.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and airy with private balconies overlooking the pool, making them one of the biggest I've experienced in Southeast Asia so far. Although the room size felt a bit small for the price compared to other options, it was overall comfortable.
