My stay at Sun And Sands Downtown was disappointing overall. While the location was convenient for accessing public transport and nearby eateries, my experience was marred by poor service and inadequate room conditions. The lack of sleep due to loud music and other disturbances significantly overshadowed any positives. I certainly wouldn't recommend this hotel based on my experience. 😞
Rooms

The room was old and a bit dirty, with non-functioning amenities like the TV and a broken window. I struggled with insufficient towels and accessories, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired.
Service

Unfortunately, the service was not helpful. The reception staff, particularly a Filipina receptionist, was rude and unresponsive to my concerns, which severely impacted my stay.
Location
5.0
The hotel is well-placed near public transport and dining options, making it easy to navigate the area, but the atmosphere was unsettling due to the presence of scantily dressed patrons around the vicinity.
Dining

The dining experience was far from enjoyable, with the on-site nightclub playing loud music until the early hours. The breakfast options were unappetizing, and I abstained from dining there after my first couple of attempts.
Facilities

Facilities were lacking; there were issues with WiFi connectivity and inadequate room amenities. I also encountered strange odors and an uncomfortable experience with visitors being turned away while others were allowed to party.

My stay at Sun And Sands Downtown was pretty disappointing. The location was decent, surrounded by shopping and convenient transport, but the overall experience fell flat due to the condition of the room and lack of service. It's a shame because it has potential, but the issues I encountered made it hard to enjoy my time there.
Rooms

The reception staff were not very helpful. They seemed indifferent to my problems, taking far too long to assist with check-in and other requests. Their overall service felt unprofessional and unaccommodating, which really added to my frustration during my stay.
Location

I gotta say the location was a plus. It's close to shopping centers, grocery stores, and transport options, which was super convenient for exploring the area. However, it's not as close to the metro station as they advertise.

Honestly, the dining options were a letdown. I expected a decent breakfast, but it was awful, and I found myself wishing I had just grabbed something from a nearby supermarket instead. It could really use some improvement.
Facilities
5.0
Facilities left a lot to be desired. I faced issues like the TV not working and WiFi problems upon arrival, though they were fixed eventually. The lack of basic amenities like towels was unacceptable, and I don't think I'd recommend those facilities based on my experience.
