Be aware that there are constructions in the building for a new AC system until end of August 2025 and the noise started sometimes at 7:30/8am! Staff was friendly and helpful but the hotel is unfortunately in such a poor condition: windows can‘t be closed properly, doorknobs are nearly broken, AC/heater didn‘t work (maybe due to the construction), elevator often not working on the 4th floor to go down. Rooms have no soundproof at all, so there‘s a lot of noise from the hall (slamming doors, people talking, music from other rooms) and, if you book the habour view rooms, from the 4-lane road just in front of your window. It‘s a cheap option and a budget hotel and you literally get what you pay for. Rooms are tiny and basic.

Booked the King plus single room with harbour view and was initially given a keycard for room 101, which was completely the wrong room yet still charged for the room I had booked. After going back to reception and inquiring about this he apologised and was given a new card for room 510. Much better however the room still did not look as shown in photos and to top it off, the window looked like it hadnt been cleaned in months so couldn't exactly enjoy the view, and bathroom amenities consisted of exactly one bottle of all-in-one soap. I understand this is a budget hotel however for an extra $20-$30 you could get much more for your money elsewhere.

Staff were great, but first room we were assigned was so strong with bleach smell from cleanin it irritated our eyes and breathing. Staff were friendly and happy to move us to another room that was clean but did not smell. Overall, I would definitely stay again
