Honest review

What could be better

  • Management should address concerns regarding the "strange" open-plan bathroom layouts—specifically the lack of hand-washing facilities within the separate toilet cubicle—and ensure basic maintenance like clearing clogged sinks is handled before guest arrival.
  • The hotel needs to improve the reliability of mini-bar tracking and communication between departments to prevent guests from being incorrectly charged for items they did not consume or had previously asked to be removed.
  • Improvements are needed for the breakfast experience by providing appropriately sized glassware and more diverse menu options, while ensuring staff members remain consistently professional and welcoming across all shifts.

How we choose

Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
