The room and bathroom smelled bad, and the sheets and pillowcases were very smelly, as if they hadn't been changed after the previous guest checked out. My body was itchy and covered in hives. Issues like this should be addressed carefully, as they affect guest comfort. There's an additional charge for breakfast if you bring two children over 6 years old. The variety and taste of the food are average, as is typical for a 3-star hotel. Please be more careful with the eggs. I asked for boiled eggs but was given raw ones, fortunately I hadn't broken them.

Cozy place, because it's a long weekend, I finally wanted to try this hotel and yep, it's very satisfying. When I entered, the staff was very friendly, and the hotel itself is really a cozy place. I'll want to stay here again for my next staycation. Please keep having hotel promotions, especially on long weekends, xixixiw 😍

Ibis Hotels have had many setbacks, particularly in their room cleanliness. While you can't expect much from a room at that price, at least the sheets, pillowcases, and blankets should be changed upon check-out, not just cleaned. Let's restore the pleasant atmosphere and aroma of the past.

Staying for 2 days was very pleasant, all the hotel staff were friendly and served well, the variety in terms of breakfast menu was very good, the cleanliness was very satisfactory, but the noise level was very poor, the noise from outside the room and next to the room was very clear so it was a little disturbing while resting.
