I will probably make a full review on my flight back but for now, I wanted to share my overall thoughts on this hotel for people considering it.

My experience here was fine but nothing special. I really do not like the low ceilings but it may not be a problem for everyone. The staff was generally helpful and very accommodating during the pandemic. The breakfast in Goki kitchen was excellent. I did not try the lounge dinner but it seemed pretty average.


Pricing for the hotel is irresistibly cheap but, as a result, many areas of the hotel were packed with people. I was shocked by how many guests were staying at the hotel.

I am not sure how to say this next part considerately… Because the hotel is so cheap, it seems to attract a particular type of guest…? There were foreigners (Americans?) in public areas very loudly talking to the staff about money, their success, etc. Most guests were completely normal but the few that did behave in this way stood out and honestly made me try to avoid the lounge and Goji kitchen as much as possible.

Also, I don’t entirely understand how M Suites are priced here. They are essentially twice the size of standard king sized bedrooms. Would it not be better to book two standard rooms that are connected for $100/night rather than a book a M Suite for $150/night?

Overall I am satisfied with my stay, especially given the price. However, I am unlikely to return. My biggest issue with this hotel is the location. The park was closed during my stay which meant you had to loop around multiple buildings to get to EmQuartier. The shuttle team was excellent but living around an hourly shuttle schedule is not fun. For a slightly higher price, I think the Renaissance is much better.
