2/10 Poor

The receptionist was not polite, she took my money for the city tax and charge me per day per stay and I booked for two nights so I paid her upon checked in. After check-in about 1 hour later I did not like the hotel so I want to check out then I ask for my city tax to be refunded for the second cost as I will not stay for tomorrow. She did not want to give back to me the money. And I get two bottles of water per day for my room and I already paid for my two nights stay and they told no not refundable so I said fine. Then I ask to give me my two bottles of water in advance for my second-night stay water. She refused to give me water which I already paid for it. This hotel is horrible and the bed is dirty and some hair around the pillow and room is dusty, and some part is falling apart in the room and curtain is not working properly.

The lounge was fantastic. Simple breakfast provided. The condition of the bathroom/toilet could be better.

1階の部屋でしたが、冷蔵庫は5階まで行く必要がありました。スタッフの皆さんはいつも笑顔で親切でした。歩くのが嫌いでなければ、パブリックバス乗り場まで5分程度で行けます。そこからバスを使って大体の場所まで行くことが出来ました。

Personal etwas sparsam, aber ansonsten steht es immer zur Verfügung. Frühstück haben wir nie genutzt, kostenloses Wasser gab es täglich frisch. Badezimmer waren sauber, Zimmer ebenfalls. Housekeeping sehr nett und aufmerksam.

Clean and comfortable spot for the night.
Room and bed is Clean. Sells beer at reception at decent price. Common area upstairs has power plugs so you could work. Bathroom heaters could use some maintenance. Underbed storage is a nice idea.

4/10 Fair

I stay 3nights, My room is on 1/F no WiFi as me and my roommate complains few times but no reaction. Bedroom is so many dust but acceptable. However, the toilet is so horrible no staff cleaning and smelly no one refill toilet paper. Some facilities was broken. I booked coz of the good comments but after stay 3nights that’s nightmare about the toilet, really disappointed. I definitely NOT recommend to others

2/10 Poor

Terrible wifi and uncleanliness
Absolutely terrible. Terrible wifi between 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps constantly disconnecting. Also, Bed bugs were found in my bed the first night I got there. They moved me to a different room after I told the staff and they washed my clothes. The bathroom on the third floor has very bad shower pressure and the shower handle is broken. The water heater was also not working.

More than just for Tido.
Location is really good. It’s at the heart of good food and walking distance to Komtar where the bus terminal is. Getting around is super easy. The Indian Male staff (I forgot to ask for his name) is really friendly and awesome. Recommended me a good local food stall too and gave a landmark to find my way at ease. Clean and comfortable for a good night sleep after a long day. There’s a lounge at level 5 where you can lepak and chill. There are books, TV, movies available too.

8/10 Very good

Stylish and Comfy, But Poor Security
Very comfortable, spacious beds and shared dorm rooms with modern touches. One of the sleekest hostel rooms I've stayed in, by far! I appreciated that the floor had four bathrooms/showers as well (with the best water pressure I've experienced in any hotel/hostel!). The big downside was security. The front door doesn't lock, and there's a separate open door to the outside near the bottom of the stairs that lead directly to the rooms. Three girls in my room had things stolen one night/morning, and unfortunately it wasn't a huge surprise. There's a currently a very clear risk that someone could just walk in from outside and steal things. Always lock the shared room door, and never leave your belongings/valuables out--always take them with you or lock them up in the drawer provided!

Lift faulty
Although I have book 1 nite stay at the hotel, but I did not manage to stay there. My wife do not like the Bathroom is outside of the hotel room as I did not informed her that there is no bathroom inside the hotel room. So I have to check out immediately as my wife do not like the room. Another issue for the hotel is that there is only 1 left and it is out of order. Me and my wife have to carry our luggage walking up the stairs to the 5th Floor. No one is helping us with all our luggage.

6/10 Good

Suitable hostel especially for backpackers. The room was very clean but they should improve their room smells because some foreigners bringing their shoe inside the room. They also should clean their toilet regularly and open more toilet to avoid people waiting. After all, I'm very enjoy my holiday while staying at your hostel.

ワイファイがないのが本当に残念。それ以外は許容範囲。
旅行者としては部屋でWi-Fiが使えないのが、辛い。一応たまに繋がるが、繋がってもかなり遅い。五階に冷蔵庫や食器共用のラウンジがある。交差点のはす向かいにコンビニ。ホテルで自転車が借りれる。バタワースからつく港からは徒歩20〜30分

현관문이랑 엘리베이터를 탈려면 카드키가 있어야해서 안전한거 같았고 5층라운지에는 전자렌지,정수기,그릇,냉장고가 있어서 즉석식품사서 먹었어요. 숙소도 깨끗하고 화장실도 넓고 뜨거운물도 잘나왔어요!! 수압도 쎄서 좋았어요. 그리고 한국컵라면은 근처 마트에 안팔아요ㅜㅜ 2일동안 찾으러 다녔는데 숙소앞에 팔았어요ㅋㅋ 숙소현관문에서 오른쪽 대각선에 24시편의점있는데 거기에 신라면큰사발팔아요!!!
