A no frills hotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Aug 2019
A clean hotel! No frills. Very small shower. Small room. Otherwise, the room smells great. Though the corridor is small likes the room, but nice and colourful. There is a common dispenser and ironing board on each floor. Goes with the no-frills theme. Overall I enjoy the no-frills theme of the hotel. The rooms are comfortable enough albeit small. I will definitely return to this hotel, as long as the price are reasonable.

Stayed with my wife and 4 years old daughter. Fast check in & check out process. Friendly staff. Comfortable room. Great location. Many restaurants around including Welcome Seafood and Borenos Fried Chicken (24 hrs). Coin operated laundry and 24 hours shop nearby. Ample parking space.

Room tip: Choose seaview. Can see sunset :-)

Stayed in a twin room for one night.
Room was facing the sea side but just a lil bit of sea could be seen.
Room was a bit small but it's ok for one night stay. Including necessary amenities.
Borenos the local fried chicken was just outside the hotel. Famous seafood restuarants (suang tien/welcome/...) was also quite near with several mins walking distance.
Walking distance to the seaside and fish market.
Area around the hotel had stingy drainage smell. You could smell diff. kinds of drainage odor when walking along the streets.
Check-in process quite slow as during that time manpower seemed to be not enough. Check-out was quick.
Doormen were polite.
Used grab to go from airport at RM11.

Though it is a affordable hotel but beware of your things and belongings. Don’t leave anything. The staffs will not even bother in helping you to retrieve them. Now a hotel is not even safe for your belongings.

Honestly, I regretted for staying this hotel. If only I knew the room is small, I rather find somewhere else. It does not fit with the price I paid at all. Despite the room is small, I have to say that the hotel location is quite good with provided parking in front of the hotel. Staffs were mostly friendly. Overall as I mentioned earlier, please find better hotel unless you are desperately need a room. I would like to suggest the hotel management should revise the room price.

The smallest room I have ever stayed. The decorations are nice but no closet and other amenities. The plus points was the view but not really beach view.
Parking is just in front the hotel. Need to get the entrance ticket and get people at receptionist counter acknowlege it.
Quite disappointed with the size of the room and another bad luck was the air conditioner water leaked from top, in front of small walkway. Refused to change to other room because need to repack and decided to stay there and found out lamp cant be switched on after the leaking.
Another plus point, its located in town and easy access to Attraction places
