“Be warned!”
+We booked a night at this hotel back in June but we didn't end up staying. It seems like the property is more focused on the sports facilities because the rooms was unclean, the bed was broken and the fittings were shabby. We thought we might stay to use the pool, which is big, but the stagnant water didn't look clean and I didn't want to put the children in it. The staff were very nice and even helped us load the luggage into the taxi!
−See above. The hotel is also in the middle of nowhere so we couldn't even get food.

“Even if it was free, I would not stay at this hotel.”
+Booking.com website. Going on to show on map and clicking the different hotels near airport.
−Everything !!!! Dirty had mold, even the pillows had mold. Mosquitos. There is no proper reception just a desk, staff only spoke Tamil, no where to get food or drinks in the hotel. The reviews on this hotel I believe are all fake. No one in their right mind would give 10 let a lone even 1 Hence to say we did not stay at this hotel.

“Unexpected disappointment”
+This property did not meet expectations and would be more accurately described as budget backpacker accommodation, rather than a hotel. The room was not clean, with visibly dirty bed linen and threadbare towels. Its location beside a river also raised concerns about mosquitoes, though we did not stay long enough to confirm. The photographs online were misleading and did not reflect the actual condition of the property. The overwhelmingly positive reviews seemed unreliable, and we immediately sought alternative accommodation. Fortunately, the Radisson was only 400 metres away. The only positive note was the genuine warmth of the manager who checked us in. Given the evident resource constraints and the likelihood that this hotel operates under difficult conditions, we chose not to request a refund. We felt they needed the money more than we did.
−The most disappointing aspect was the lack of cleanliness in the room. While I’m comfortable with basic facilities, cleanliness is a fundamental expectation,regardless of the price point or location.

“Passable”
+When I arrived I was welcomed by the friendly owner of the place, who had just come back from Australia. He apologized in advance that he had found the hotel in a state that was less than he expected and gave me a chance to look at the room before paying (it was 10 pm though so it would be hard to go anywhere else). At a first glance the room was basic, but seemed ok enough for one night before a flight, and it had a good AC.
−Once in the room it was definitely clear that there is a lack of maintenance: mould spots, several leaking faucets, cob webs. However, most problematic to me was that the bed sheets had quite some stains and that with the general state of disrepair and (lack of) cleanliness I didn’t feel confident that I was sleeping in a clean bed. This kept me up, together with the karaoke party happening downstairs until late at night (which I thought was probably in honor of the owner’s return). Most surprising to me is that there were several 10-point reviews from European tourists, who stayed here in the days running up to my stay, and that the overall review score right now is 9.9. Either the previous guests must have much lower standards than me, or perhaps there are other rooms that are in a better state. While I can definitely see the potential of the place, with the pool looking very nice and the area being very green, you should also be mindful of the many mosquitoes (near water) and the absence of any food offering, despite it being off the main road so nothing else is nearby.
