The hotel itself was ok, however it fell short in a few areas which, for the amount I paid was not great. You could be forgiven for thinking that the reception staff (one person) were security, vetting anyone who entered with a ‘buanas’ as a greeting. That is it. I’ve stayed at much cheaper places and received warmer welcomes.
I paid over €120 per night however, the safe was extra, charged per night, as was breakfast. The AC was the biggest surprise. It was controlled centrally so regardless of the temperature you set it as, and the other guests were cold, you got hot air coming in. Rang reception and they told me that other guests were cold so I should switch off the AC. I had to open the window to let come cool air in but of course was woken up by people shouting and dogs barking in the street. The hotel is next to an Indian restaurant so got a few people gathering outside and speaking loudly. If you are a light sleeper and prefer cooler rooms, this is perhaps not the best option for you. The location was convenient for the metro.
The bathroom smelt of sewage for the duration of my stay which I did not expect.
Overall, it felt like a hostel, looked like a hotel, cost like a 5* with staff that needed a reminder of the warmth of customer service.
I would not stay here again.
