(Check in at the end of June 2024) I discovered this new hotel the day before leaving for Bangkok
At first, I was worried that the pictures online were not consistent with reality, but my worries disappeared after arriving at the hotel.
The room is large and new. There is an elevator, but there is no check-in counter. After entering the hotel, there is a banner with a QR code to contact the hotel staff and check in (Facebook/whatsapp/Line/wechat)
We arrived at the hotel at around 10 o'clock in the morning that day. The staff quickly responded and checked us in, and allowed us to put down our luggage first. We received a text message at around 12 o'clock that we could check in. We returned to the hotel to rest at around 2 o'clock.
Here is my impression of staying for two nights:
Pro:
- A new hotel that costs over HKD 200. It has lifts, bathtubs, and large rooms. The staff responded quickly. There were also staff cleaning the hotel two mornings. They were all kind and courteous.
- We returned to the hotel very late on the first day. We wanted to use the bathtub but found that there was no hot water. We reported it to the staff on WhatsApp, but it was probably too late (00:30) and we did not receive an immediate reply. However, we contacted the staff again the next day. After following up with a text message, I received an employee's active help to solve the problem at noon.
- The lift is very fast, probably because there is only one room on the first floor, so you won’t have to wait for a long time for the lift.
- With electronic locks, there is no need to bring additional cards or keys, which is very convenient
- There is no deposit required, and there are basic supplies such as toothbrushes, shower caps, cotton swabs, shower gel, shampoo, disposable slippers, and small gifts, which feels considerate.
- If you like to go treasure hunting at Sampin Market, the hotel's location is very convenient, just a 6-minute walk away
- There are two 7-11s nearby within a 4-minute walk.
Con
- It rained heavily on the first night. Since the doors and windows of the hotel were generally soundproof, I could hear the sound of dripping water outside the window the whole night. After the rain stopped in the morning, I still heard the sound of dripping water on the iron sheets (the black picture in the Google Maps video is what I woke up at night It was taken when you came, you can listen to the sound to decide whether it is acceptable). If you wake up easily at night, it is recommended to wear earplugs.
- There should be another family staying on the upper floor the next night, and you can hear footsteps and the sound of the TV upstairs.
- The gap next to the door was too big. When we turned off all the lights and planned to go to sleep, we saw a lot of light outside the door. However, because of the color and shadow of the carpet outside the door, we felt that someone was standing outside. After opening the door many times, we found out that it was a false alarm. field
- Maybe because of the new hotel, I found that the water was muddy yellow when I used the tub (maybe because of the color of the water pipes). There are also two sets of shower heads. I am 1.74m tall and I cannot use the shower head above my head when entering the tub. (will nod)
- There is no soap in the bathroom, and you fail to wash your hands properly after using the toilet.
- After checking out, the clerk texted us that the spoon was missing and asked us if we had taken it with us. We didn’t take it with us, but the hotel staff sent us a text message to inquire about the small things. It didn’t feel good.
- The location is not very close to the MRT. If you use grab/bolt, you need to allow enough time for the driver to get to the hotel. Maybe because of the traffic jam nearby, the driver has given up on picking up the hotel several times, but if the motorcycle is very fast, There is a driver taking orders, and there is a trail opposite the hotel, which can instruct the driver to wait there (because the hotel downstairs is a one-way road, and there are more cars during the day)
Overall, we like this new hotel very much. We will stay there again next time and recommend it to friends who have limited travel budget.
