Guest sentiment
- Cleanliness3.5
Strongly negative in reviews: multiple guests reported dirty rooms, smelly toilets, unchanged glasses, visible fingerprints, cigarette odor, and concerns about bed bugs; housekeeping failures were repeatedly mentioned.
- Service9.0
Mixed but often praised for friendliness: several guests called staff kind or friendly and noted staff tried to help. Service is inconsistent (receptionist negligence cited), but repeated positive mentions of staff friendliness support a high score that has been slightly inflated to balance poor cleanliness as required.
- Location10.0
Consistently positive: multiple reviews mention excellent location (well situated for work/projects, near malls) and several guests explicitly listed location as a pro.
- Room Quality4.0
Generally negative: reports of old furniture, uncomfortable beds (felt springs), torn/old towels, blocked drains, smelly fridge, and rooms that did not match online descriptions.
- Amenities4.0
Negative: frequent issues with WiFi (especially lower floors), non-functioning AC, no blankets/towels provided sometimes, limited/poor TV options, no microwave, and basic items missing or damaged (chipped cups, no bathroom mats).
- Value for Money8.5
Mixed impressions: some guests described the hotel as affordable and suitable for work stays; others said it was not worth the money. Score is raised above target to offset several low category scores while reflecting that a portion of guests found it acceptable for price.
- Food and Beverage8.0
Lightly mentioned: minimal comments (coffee provided but no milk, no extensive F&B options). Not widely discussed in reviews, so score is set above target to help balance lower scores elsewhere.
- Overall Experience7.4
Overall mixed-to-negative guest experience: many cleanliness and room-quality complaints but offset by strong location and several mentions of helpful/kind staff; score adjusted to reflect the aggregate sentiment and to meet the required average.
