I have the fortune of being a very well travelled person. I am adapatable to 5 star hotels or very low budget hostels... it will be depending the place and of course the budget.
However I have to say that this has been the worst hotel I have ever stayed in Asia (and I have been in dodgy ones in the middle of nowhere in Vietnam!!!).
The problem with this one is the expectation.. the website is fabulous compared to what it offers. The facilities, rooms, reception, restaurant, all is as old, nothing comparabe to what they show in the gallery! And considering that the price is not very very low... I honestly can confirm that I pay 300% more of what it values. My room was damp, cracking furniture, broken doors. The pool had never been cleaned at least in the last year, the garden area is full of big black ants that get on you while suntanning and even bite.
Plus the service was horrible! the women at the reception desk were rude and when they didn't want to attend our questions, they pretended not to understand English.
The location of the hotel is good... next to teh Shangri La... I went in there to see the rates... just 50% more of what I paid... I wanted to collapsed.. I expected a smaller, cozy, nicer hotel as per what I saw in the website and what I paid for it..
Thanks for asking my opinion.. I wish it is is useful for the travellers...
