BIG SCAM - no check-in available and no password sent beforehand. Even Agoda was not able to reach the hotel. Cause chaos to my family.

I made a reservation on the official website, and everything went smoothly from booking to receiving the confirmation letter to receiving the check-in ID (the check-in ID was received about three days ago). I met some tourists from Taiwan locally, but they were not like this. Fortunately, I said I booked a room through agoda but did not receive the check in ID.

This is a wonderful apartment-style hotel... It has good reviews and the rooms are actually good; but the strange thing is that the person in charge of the apartment is very irresponsible... We booked the room through the Agoda website until we checked in. On the same day, I never received a confirmation letter from the apartment...I am a very nervous person, so I called Agoda customer service two days ago to ask for assistance, so I was lucky enough to receive a reply from Agoda... But on the day of check-in, I met another group of tourists who were also from Taiwan. , she also booked a room through Agoda... She was completely locked out of the door because she didn't receive a notification letter...I'm sure we won't be the first case, and hopefully the apartment management can improve on this.

The exterior and interior are very beautiful, but there are issues with the check-in method and hygiene.In other people's reviews, it was said that you would receive an email in advance, but that didn't happen.Just to be sure, I contacted them in advance about the check-in time, but they just said, "We'll be waiting for you."Since there is no particular guidance, I wonder if the entrance number can be entered with a reservation number or something? No matter how hard I tried, the door wouldn't open. I was in trouble because there was no response when I contacted them through the app.When I looked up, I saw a phone number on the panel, so I called and they told me to let me in.When you open the door and enter, you can check in using the tablet placed next to you.I was asked, "Do you know your ID?", but there was no way they would have known since they had not been informed in the first place.I thought that if someone was deaf or hard of hearing, they would have a hard time hearing.It was a hassle to use a tablet to re-enter the information that I had entered in advance when making a reservation.When entering the room, you need to know how to open it and remember the key number, so be careful.As soon as I entered the room, there were a lot of bird feathers and plastic on the floor. Is the smell smoke-free? It smelled like cigarettes.Therefore, when I was operating the air purifier, the cover came off. There was a lot of black dust all over the filter. It hasn't been cleaned.The sponge and detergent for cleaning the bathroom were left under the bathroom. When I tried to brush my teeth, I was surprised to see my child touching it.I also washed things in the kitchen again because there was dirt on the dishes and I smelled them. The sponge in the kitchen was quite worn out.The container where I kept my toothbrush was very dirty and there was no toothpaste.I was surprised because it was the first time that I didn't have toothpaste.I don't even have nightgowns!When I go to stay with my family, I try to put something like plastic in my mouth and I get scared.The bed also has a wooden frame that sticks out, so I felt it could be dangerous and easily fall over or get hit.Is it for couples or business people?To check out, just leave.

The room is a short walk from the station, but you can walk to the shopping street, so you are not afraid of rain. The neighborhood is quite lively, and there are supermarkets and supermarkets (happy supermarket on B1)The toilet and shower are separate. Self-service check-in is quite simple. There is also an elevator, but it is troublesome to not be able to store luggage.
