8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (1002)
"The reception and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Specially Ms Anna Wong from the restaurant. She is always smiling and goes around to ask the guests they are ok. The room we stayed is very clean and spacious and we enjoyed our stay very much . The only setback the hotel is that guests can smell the foul air from the nearby Filipino market Once you stand outside the lobby. Because of the hotel is across the market, the surrounding area gets pretty busy . May not be...

4.5 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (31)
"Luxurious room. The only issue is that I use the stairs and discovered that all of the fire doors were open on every single floor. This means that no one would be able to escape that very large building. I reported it to the owner of my room and she said she would report it to management. The next day I went down the stairs again and all the doors were still open. Not only where the doors open there was debris on the stairs, which in an emergency people would fall down the stairs since the...
