In our booking, we specified an evening arrival time. However, when we arrived at the reception, no one was there. We waited for about 15 minutes. Since we didn't have a local SIM card and no way to make calls, we noticed the Wi-Fi information on the desk, connected, and called the number listed on Booking — but no one answered. Then we called the number on a promotional flag near the hotel advertising bike rentals. A woman answered and said someone would come shortly. A young man arrived, but he was on the phone with someone the whole time. He didn't speak to us, just led us to the room and handed over the keys. We asked about parking, and he showed us where to park the car, but he didn't explain whether we would be able to retrieve it in the morning or if we would need to find someone from the staff to open the gate. We didn't feel comfortable.

Decent location close to stores etc. comfy bed. Scooter rental available. Basic accommodation.

Didn’t see any staff at all. Self checkout on via messaging. Thin walls so could be very noisy depending on your neighbours. Bring earplugs.

the location was great, right next to the thursday night market. rooms were clean, beds were comfy, fridge, facilities were nice

We booked a “triple” which we assumed would be for three people, but upon arriving we were told we would be charged extra for having a third person in our TRIPLE room. We thought that was a bit unreasonable but we were okay with paying if we had to. The remainder of our stay there was never any staff and therefore we were unable to pay. We checked out early in the morning and once again there was no at reception, even though they said reception opened at 8:00. We waited for quite a while and when no one came we left without paying the extra charge. Later that morning the host messaged and called us telling us that we had to pay. We told her that we had tried to but there had been no one there to pay, she got quite mad and even sent us security camera footage, although I have no idea what she was trying to prove since it showed us waiting at reception for nearly an hour. Later when we went to the bus station to leave we were met by a worker who had the women from the hotel on facetime. We were then denied from buying our bus tickets until the women showed up at the bus station and demanded that we pay. VERY unprofessional behaviour and service from this hotel.
