Great hotel, I will definitely recommend this hotel, if you are young, vibrant, and love to party, it’s located right in the middle of the party scenes, the rooftop even though it’s small, it’s nice, the check-in was smooth and pretty everything I needed was a walking distance away

If you love noise & nightclubs and a young crowd around the pool & area then this is for you. It is a very noisy busy area & you can hear the nightclub music in your room all night. The room was not clean, a small space & loud rattling air con. Corridor and room had a funny smell & felt dark & gloomy The staff are great & friendly & the price is good for this area

In general, the area is lively and full of shopping centers, restaurants, and nightclubs. However, it is extremely noisy at night, and you can’t sleep before 4 a.m. I wouldn’t recommend this area for people looking for a quiet place to stay.

Decent place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind you are staying in the nightlife district and it gets loud and stays loud at night. They do provide earplugs which help massively. Only other minor comment is they used some sort of perfume in the room that was a bit strong at first. I recommend the room.
