Delicious Breakfast Variety

The buffet breakfast was truly a highlight of my stay. There were lots of choices, and everything was freshly prepared. I particularly enjoyed the variety of hot and cold options, perfect to start the day. It's one of the best breakfast spreads I've come across in my travels! I loved it!

Refreshing Pool Experience

The pool area was fantastic! It was clean and provided a great place to cool off after a day of exploring. I found the size and depth suitable for both children and adults, making it a perfect spot for families.

The hotel's rooms, although not as grand as expected for the price, were comfortable and suitable for two guests. The room was spacious with a balcony, a cozy bed, and a handy sofa for relaxation, making it ideal for a family vacation. However, the service was lacking during check-in, with a somewhat disorganized approach and minimal explanation provided. The location, although far out, had convenient access to good restaurants and local markets, but lacked nearby cafes. The dining experience fell short of expectations with limited options and repetitive menu items, mainly below par. Despite the setbacks, the hotel did have some positive traits, such as a hassle-free deposit waiver and convenient proximity to the KimFung Area.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were nicely furnished and had a comfortable bed, but the 3G and 4G mobile network was bad. The service was mixed; the staff were nice but didn't provide accurate information about check-out times. The location was quite good for finding food and convenient, but it lacked nearby restaurants and bars. The dining experience was mainly fried noodles and fried rice, and the facilities were decent.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nicely furnished and had a comfortable bed, which was great for a family vacation, but the lack of a minibar or small fridge was a downside. The service was slow and unorganized, especially during registration, and the staff seemed indifferent. The location was convenient and fantastic, but lacked nearby amenities. While the dining was good in terms of price, the limited variety over multiple nights was disappointing.
