Do not stay here!! Dirty and prostitution happens here!! You aren’t safe!!
Catherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not for everyone, but if you are lonely male it's ok. Downstairs there is a bar with hookers, but the food is rather bad. Breakfasts are like homemade and lack variety, but the staff is very friendly. At first I wanted to move when I saw the room, cause it doesn't look like in the photos, but everything was working including ac so in the end I'm satisfied. Very convenient location.

Please Don't Stay Here
I wasn't given the room I booked. The pictures on this app don't represent what they offer. Wi-Fi didn't work. The bar plays loud music at night. I was accused of having extra people in my room when I didn't. It seems that the bar is where men are trying to hook up with women for hire.

We are having major electric shortage causing me and other guest not having access to electricity, air-conditioning and water for the last 5 hours... I definitely would demand a refund for all this inconvenience... We can't even use restroom for #1!!!!! That's absolutely unprofessional.

Can be good for the price
Before our trip we ordered middle class rooms. But we got little lesser rooms for the the first night and then upgrade to the best vip rooms for the rest of our stay. The location is good, televisions are not. Don't get the cheapest room option. Upper rooms are better. There is a bar downstairs and it can cause some noise in late evenings. The customers are mostly single men. Do your homework for less surprises.

You definitely get what you pay for! I had to switch out of 3 bedrooms cause they either had mold or just plain smelled. Finally the fourth bedroom I was placed in was relatively clean and nice. The receptionist was very helpful and understanding. The location was perfect for me which is why I didn’t want to leave.

The staff was very pleasant and organized a transportation from the airport and into our next venue. Breakfast was a nice surprise. The hotel room was clean and with good air conditioning. Good wifi!

Great, walkable location in the Oyster Bay/Masaki Peninsula area. Our room was well kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is good and the surrounding area is pleasant.

Sevice og tilstand!!
Ophold, service og værelse var helt godt. Det eneste minus er hotellets tilstand - mangel på vedligeholdelse Det trænger til en lettere renovering / bedre vedligeholdelse.

Avoid for business trip, perhaps ok for a backpack
As you may guess from the name, this place is first a bar, and then, way after, perhaps a hotel. Your room is basically just above the bar, so sleeping without earplugs before 1am on a Saturday will be complicated. The staff doesn't speak English, or not at all which is unprofessional for a capital city hotel. Hence every communication is hard. The double bed is actually two single beds next to each other, which of course is uncomfortable if you would like to sleep in the middle of your bed. Even the sheets are for 2 single beds. The shower is not separated from the bathroom, so when you have a shower, the entire bathroom is wet. The WiFi was either not working at all, or not sufficient to be used in the room. But perhaps most annoyingly was the fact that the bar is full of prostitutes waving to you as you go upstairs to your room. Also quite difficult to feel home in that context. Unless you're a prostitute ? Room size was good, as well as the AC, breakfast was ok but starting too late at 8am. Poor value for money in general, 50$ a night in my case.
