    Hotel with helpful staff, clean, good location and view

    The breakfast is the only thing I thing that could be improved as it was a little sparse for a 4 star hotel. I understand that there were few guests staying and they likely didn't want to waste food. When they heard I was vegetarian, however, they immediately adapted the menu which was nice of them.

    The staff in this hotel were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. Grace in particular at the front desk helped with many arrangements. It is not clear why they did not have more guests as everything was good and the rooms all have a nice bay view. They have free parking right at the hotel. And the hotel pricing is fair. I looked at he other top end hotels in the town and one were quite a bit pricier. the other about the same.

    Low water pressure on hot water. Bathroom had wall of glass see through window. Why? The bath/shower has no seal so showering splashes water all over the floor.

    Quiet great view of T-dock cove. Bathroom was clean and worked great. Amenities include toothbrush/toothpaste. Soap, shampoo and conditioner. Comb and super quiet vortex dryer with cold button was great.

    Would have been nice to have English channels on TV. There's a nice spot to watch the sunrise and sunset at the end of the road, but there are some scary barking dogs you have to pass.

    Hotel is clean, the beds are firm, breakfast wwas a good spread of Chinese and western choices. Enjoyed the bath tub in my room and had great water views.

    The breakfast. Poor. Always the same food.2 days we were alone and no breakfast served. Only few things we asked. No sweeties. Absolutely to improve !!! Unfortunately no lift ! Only stairs !

    All the Guys of reception were kindly, helpful and polite. A special mention for Miss Flora and Mr Christian ! Very kind and available the staff of the rooms, gave us all the items we need more ( chair and pillows ). Good room face to the sea. Free parking.

    Pictures were better than the rooms in reality. The place is slightly outdated. Altogether, it is quite expensive for what you get.

    The staff were really friendly. The location is OK. About 15 minutes to the town center.

    It’s a bit father away from the dock if you are going to snorkeling. If you don’t or cannot walk a few hundred meters, you’ll need taxi every time you go out of the hotel. The public area in second and third floor is not air-conditioned. During our stay, it’s hot to walk in the hallway or dine in the hotel’s restaurant.

    The bread-fast was really great. We stayed there for five nights and the chef tried to change up some of the dishes so we wont be eating the same thing everyday. The service is also great. The staff was eager to assist and accommodate our needs. The view of the sea is also really great.

    A Chinese hotel at the outskirts of Koror with fantastic sunset views but disappointing restaurant
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Double or Twin Room with Terrace
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Noisy renovation works ongoing, but should be finished soon. Only Chinese TV programs. Not much infrastructure around the hotel. The biggest setback however is the breakfast: A few (all cold!) Chinese dishes that are absolutely incompatible with Western palates. I bought my own muesli, milk, yoghurt and cheese for breakfast. Also tried a pizza for dinner and was very disappointed.

    Big, newly renovated room with comfortable bed. Due to the ongoing renovation works I was upgraded to a Deluxe room with gorgeous views of the sunset from the big balcony. The reception staff was very welcoming, friendly and efficient, they can also help with car rental, laundry, booking of tours and dinners, and organize transfers to and from the airport with the hotel bus (20 USD).

    Bit of a walk (15min) to town area - which can be a bit scary given the menacing dogs roaming free. Take a USD5 taxi, it is safer.

    This Chinese hotel was better value for money than most options in Palau. Laundry was cheap and good - which was a plus. They arranged all taxi transfers

    There seemed to be several things in need of repair. Several rooms were open to expose supplies from floor to ceiling. A railing from second to third floor is for looks only and cannot be trusted for balancing a person.
