Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a nice escape from the heat but is overpriced for what we got. The rooms were old and lacked lovely decor, while the service was the least friendly and helpful we encountered during our stay. However, the location was pretty nice, close to lively areas of Gili T, and the dining experience, although average, offered good value.
The hotel is just at the end of the main strip, making it a really easy walk yet still nice and quiet. The spacious room with a huge bed and open bathroom was perfect for the four of us, but the bathroom being only accessible through a steep staircase was a drawback.
The hotel offers very nice and clean rooms, although the outside bathrooms down a narrow staircase may not appeal to everyone. The service was friendly and attentive, but there were some issues with unhelpful staff. The location is strategic, near shops and beaches, although it may not be ideal for those seeking a quieter spot. The dining experience was good quality overall, with room for improvement. The facilities were satisfactory but could be enhanced.
The hotel was conveniently located at the end of the main strip, offering a nice and quiet environment. The rooms, though slightly affected by the construction noise in the mornings, were spacious and equipped with two relaxing lazy bed-chairs at the balcony. The service was top-notch with professional, courteous, and friendly staff. The dining experience, while not always sufficient for all guests, offered good quality meals. The outdoor cinema right outside the hotel was a unique and enjoyable feature.
I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. The location was convenient and peaceful, but the room didn't meet my expectations given the price paid. The service was outstanding, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience was a bit noisy and felt more like a cafeteria.
The hotel is located at the end of the main strip, offering a really easy walk to nearby attractions while maintaining a quiet atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and nice, but we experienced some water leakage issues. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, with enjoyable pool facilities. The dining options were varied, but at times not sufficient for the number of guests. Overall, a convenient location with some room improvement needed.
