I found this hotel really overrated based on its advertising. The pool was below average and the fitness area was tiny, just a cramped space with three pieces of equipment. To make matters worse, there's a disco next door that blasts loud music until 4 AM, making it hard to sleep. Breakfast was just okay. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're prepared for the noise.

The hotel is quite outdated and not well-maintained. While the rooms are spacious and the air conditioning works well, the bathrooms are in dire need of refurbishment. I had a decent breakfast experience but found the overall value questionable given the lack of promised amenities and cleanliness issues in the rooms. If you're looking for a comfortable stay, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

My stay at this hotel was disappointing overall. The reception area looked nice, which was a brief highlight, but the rooms were very old and poorly maintained. The lack of facilities like a bar or restaurant, combined with dirty areas and unhelpful staff, made for a frustrating experience. I expected more for the price and would not recommend this hotel to others.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The facilities were outdated and not well maintained, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they had no other options.

My stay at this hotel was quite underwhelming. The rooms were large but felt dated and had several issues, particularly in the bathroom which was not clean.

My stay at this hotel was really disappointing. The reception area looked nice, but that’s where the positives ended. The rooms were outdated and didn’t match the photos from the booking site at all. The pool area was filthy, and the lack of basic amenities like a restaurant or bar made for a frustrating experience. Honestly, there are much better options nearby that offer more for the same price.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. On one hand, the rooms were spacious and the pool area was nice. On the other hand, the overall cleanliness was a significant issue, especially in the bathrooms, which were in desperate need of maintenance. The breakfast was decent but not what I would call remarkable. If you're looking for a comfortable stay, you might want to consider other options first.
