Simple but clean, comfortable, and good location
If you prefer a gorgeous and luxury stay, this is not for you. But this is the best place for someone who comes for business or an easy trip to Palau. I stayed at this hotel for my business trip and had nothing to complain. The room was big and so was the bed. Since air conditioner worked perfectly, I didn't have to get suffered from the hot outside. Hotel amenities such as a toothbrush or a razor were available but minimum. I was OK with them but you should bring yours by yourself if you get used to "fancy" stuff. The hotel staff were all kind and nice. Rosie, especially, helped me and my colleagues a lot. The Cessna tour she recommended for us became one of the most exciting experiences in my life and was the amazing moment in Palau. She also took care of us by calling for a taxi (since I didn't understand Palauan language) or restaurants, which helped us a lot. You can find a supermarket downstairs and a cafe across the street. It is super hot in Palau so it was really nice to be able to get bottles of water easily. You can also get to the main road in Palau for 30 seconds and go to everywhere. I totally liked this hotel and want to stay here again when I come to Palau for my private trip.

What a hassle
Our stay at this hotel didn't have a pleasant ending or beginning. We arrived on a late flight and had arranged in advance for the hotel to pick us up from the airport. The shuttle picked us and a few other guests up and we arrived at the hotel around midnight. Upon arrival the door was locked and no one was around, so we were all waiting outside for several minutes until the door was unlocked and we could check in. Upon check out, we were told we had to pay an extra tax on the room. We agreed but the hotel tried to charge us tax based on their room rate, not on the lower rate we paid based on our hotels.com booking. After several phone calls between the front desk staff and the booking agent we were told there was a problem with the rate hotels.com had, so we should pay the tax they were telling us and try to get a refund from hotels.com. We explained how illogical that was as well as that it didn't make sense for us to pay tax on something we did pay (i.e. the higher room rate they were telling us), and after wasting 30 minutes we asked them to discuss this with management and we would sort it out upon our return at the end of the day. When we came back later they told us we had to pay the full tax, and given we had wasted our time and energy explaining the situation repeatedly to different people, we made the payment in full so we could get to the airport for our flight. The level of service was simply not acceptable.

Economical hotel option in Koror
The hotel staff was so kind, accommodating and helpful! I arrived on a red eye and used this hotel between lodging options. The hotel was very accommodating in making a late night airport transfer, as well!

Palau hotel for diving trip
Very convenient location. Good airport transfer. Staff very helpful. Clean and tidy. Very useful having a supermarket underneath the hotel. Good value for money. Could do with: a bigger bathroom, better wifi and tv (but actually that's the whole of Palau and sort of the reason you go there)

Clean, safe & no special frills!
It was a spur of the moment plan so I didn't have to much time to plan it so found a place not too expensive & close to walking to stores, restaurants, etc.

Nice hotel but needs some improvements.
I did enjoy my stay but just needs some improvements. Firstly when I arrived i was carrying 3 large luggage's and there was no one at the door to assist you. I had to climb the stairs all the way up just to find out they had a lift for luggages which i was not aware because there was no sign or anything on the door or such. Something they need to work on. Luckily the nice friendly front desk lady who came running to assist me. Only then i was informed about the lift. Room were decent. Bathroom has warm water for shower. Bathroom was nice theres a tub. Although i dont really care for such a thing especially not from a hotel. I had a little argument with an older front desk lady. I know she was just doing her job and i assured her that i had guest just eat and then they are on their way home but she kept arguing with me and telling me she was going to charge me $10 extra per person who comes up to my room. I got a room that accomodates 3 people and it even says on their site and i had 4 guests come up to have a late dinner with me and she didnt like it. She is the reason why i gave hotel staff a 4 otherwise it would have been a 5. Location is very good though because we have a store on the first floor which is part of the hotel. Theres a lot of restaurants around the area and even a bank of hawaii just right on the block. Theres so many places near by thats not too far of a walk. so overall i give it a 4.

Think twice
Room is clean, hot shower good, bed comfort, location is OK (5-8 mins walk to city centre), A/C good. However, may be our room is located just on top of the supermarket refrigerator section. We cannot have a restful sleep, because it was too noisy. We guess the refrigerators of the supermarket keep turning on and off for the whole day, especial at night. You will be awake while it turns on again, (may be every 20-30mins).

コロールの中心街に近い
私は、多少英語が離せるのでホテルのフロントの方と言葉がほぼ通ずることが出来ました。チェックインの時、2階の1部屋2人で案内がありました。予約は、2部屋だったので予約明細書を見せてクレームを付けたところ、2部屋にしてくれました。私の部屋は、最初に案内のあった3104号室で、追加された友人の部屋は、隣りの3105号室でした。ホテル予約前にネットで部屋の設備を検索したところ浴槽があるとの内容でしたが、3104号室はシャワールームのみで浴槽はなく、友人の3105号室は浴槽がありました。私は、お湯に浸かってくつろぐことは出来ませんでした。大きな問題として、私の持参したシュノーケルセットが私のホテルの部屋で無くなってしまったことです。3日目（5月12日）に、オプショナルツアーでシュノーケリングに朝出掛けて、午後3時ごろホテルに戻り、器材を乾燥させるため、部屋のベランダにシュノーケルセット（度付メガネもマスクに取り付け）の他にマリンシューズ、サーフパンツを干しました。シュノーケルセットとマリンシューズは、ベランダの外側の棚に載せました。サーフパンツは、ベランダに備えてある椅子に掛けました。椅子は、外側から離れた位置にありました。干した後、午後6時頃、夕食を食べに予約したレストランへ行き、午後8時過ぎにホテルへ戻ってきました。その時、ベランダの入り口ドアを開け、入口に近いところの棚に干したマリンシューズを見て、ほぼ乾いていたので部屋に取り込みしました。その時、後から思うとシュノーケルセットが無くなっていたことに気づきました。翌日（5月13日）の早朝、2回目のシュノーケルツアーに出かける準備をしていたところ、シュノーケルセットがベランダに無いことが判りました。ベランダには柵が設置してあり、さらに柵の外側に外壁が設置され、外壁の上には有刺鉄線が張り巡らしてあり、人が侵入することは、まず考えられない状況でした。しかし、有刺鉄線の上側は空間があり、その空間を使って、引っ掛けのできる棒などを使えば、ベランダの棚に干してあるものをベランダの床に落とし、床と柵の隙間からシュノーケルセットを取り出せるのではないかと思いました。ベランダに近い外壁の隣に物置小屋のような建物があり、男性が寝ていました（朝7時頃です）。男性が寝ていた高さは、外壁の有刺鉄線の高さと同じくらいでした。従って、梯子が無くても有刺鉄線の上の空間からベランダに向かって引っ掛け棒を出すことは可能な状態であると思いました。2回目のシュノーケリングからホテルへ帰った後、フロントにシュノーケルが無くなったことを話し、フロントはオーナーに電話し、暫くしてオーナーと警察官二人がホテルへ来ました。無くなった状況をオーナー、警察官から聞かれましたが、英会話が下手な私は、正しく説明することが難しい為、警察官が旅行業者に電話し、英語、日本語が判る方に私が日本語で状況を説明し、その後、旅行業者の方が私の話を英語で警察官に伝えました。その後、警察官から幾つか質問がありました。警察官が調書を作成し、文面（英文）を見て、私は理解できましたので署名しました。調書のコピーを私は頂きました。オーナー・警察官は、私に対し、シュノーケルセットの価格を聴いたので、円なら5,000円程度、ドルに換算すれば今のレートで45ドル程度だと答えました。シュノーケルセットのレシートが手元にあるか聞かれましたが、日本にあると答えました。ホテルが補償をしてくれるのか分らないままで5月14日帰国しました。当方サイドに落度は全くないと思います。ホテル側に補償を求めます。

リゾートホテルではなくビジネスホテルですが、便利で快適なホテルです
日本語を話すスタッフはいませんが、みなフレンドリーでお願いしたことはすぐに対応してくれます。日中海に出る方であれば眠るだけでしょうから快適に過ごせます。街中から少し外れているので、夜もとても静かでよく眠れました。 一階がスーパーで朝7時くらいから夜9時半まであいており品ぞろえは豊富、はす向かいにはカフェ、空き地を挟んで隣には居酒屋さんもあります。
