balanced stay

cute staffgreat locationreturn visitdilapidated streetdark streetsunsettling atmosphere
the staff were all very nice and cute. the location is near many shops and restaurants. it was my third time coming to this particular hotel (and i hope it won't be the last!).
the general street area around the accommodation isn't great. it is a bit dilapidated and off putting. some streets are pretty dark nearby with little to no street lights and have gangs of men hanging out on them.

spacious roomefficient housekeepingrooftop poolcardio machines
I stayed in a beautiful double room. It was spacious. housekeeping services were regular and efficient. the rooftop pool area had plenty of seating. the gym featured multiple cardio machines. the hotel is close to shopping areas, though the immediate surroundings are busy.
the street outside the hotel can get very congested! especially during peak hours.

mediocre experience due to noise and location

poor soundproofingdisappointing location
The soundproofing was terrible. i could hear everything from adjacent rooms and the hallway. it was difficult to sleep. the location was also disappointing. The surrounding area felt quite run-down and far from main attractions. it made getting around more difficult, with significant traffic delays.
