Will you actually sleep here?
119 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Yes, you’re likely to sleep well, thanks to comfortable beds and a generally quiet setting.
Check before bookingSome guests report sound transfer through doors, windows, walls, lobby areas, elevators, and from nearby rooms.
Yes, you’re likely to sleep well, thanks to comfortable beds and a generally quiet setting. Some guests report noise travelling through doors, walls and shared areas, so light sleepers should request a quieter room.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 8.33/10 on average.
Bed was so comfy and rooms quiet - couldn’t hear anyone else!
The bed was very comfortable and the bed linens absolutely pristine
Sounds from lobby and landing spaces easily transferred quite a bit noise into our bedroom from other guest activity and cleaners
bed was too firm - pillows too soft
Sleep quality is good but not exceptional. Many supplied reviews describe quiet surroundings and comfortable beds, while corpus statistics show 13 noise complaints overall and 12 within the last two years. Specific complaints document sound transfer from neighboring rooms, common areas, elevators, windows and poolside activity. Blackout performance and air-conditioning noise are unverified.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
What are the rooms actually like?
107 reviews about this · 26 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
Rooms come across as spacious, comfortable and attractive, with good beds and occasional pleasant views. Bathrooms are less consistently praised, with some awkward storage around the sink and mixed bed or pillow preferences.






The room was spacious
The bed was very comfortable and the bed linens absolutely pristine
bed was too firm - pillows too soft
the sink area - which is outside of the bathroom - really needs a proper place to hang towels and store some stuff (like toothbrush
Is it clean and well kept?

The hotel is generally clean, modern and well maintained.
Check before bookingA small number of supplied reviews report housekeeping or linen issues, including an uncleared drain and stained bedding.
The hotel is generally clean, modern and well maintained. A few guests mention issues such as damp smells, a blocked drain or stained bedding, so the otherwise strong score is not spotless.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 8/10 on average.
Guests reporting this gave the whole stay 7.57/10 on average.
Very nice and clean rooms
Our room smelt a little musty / damp
offer electric mosquito killer instead of mosquito spray
8.5/10: Overall condition appears clearly good: cleanliness praise is extensive in the supplied evidence, rooms are described as modern and well maintained, and the photographs show contemporary intact-looking interiors. The score is moderated by specific housekeeping and linen complaints and by limited direct evidence for common areas. No current cleanliness alert is supported: the supplied condition complaints are not within the last 180 days of the current source date.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Do the staff fix things when they go wrong?
386 reviews about this · 4 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
Staff are a major strength: guests describe them as warm, welcoming and responsive. Check-in is usually smooth, though limited on-site management could make occasional problems harder to resolve.




What really makes the experience is the staff - they are so friendly and welcoming
Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free
Should be easier to have a manager on site
Is breakfast worth booking?

Breakfast is worth considering, with a varied buffet, Thai and Western options, fresh fruit, coffee and complimentary drinks and snacks.

Breakfast is worth considering, with a varied buffet, Thai and Western options, fresh fruit, coffee and complimentary drinks and snacks. Some guests found the choice limited or the food lukewarm, particularly if you expect a large, consistently hot spread.






Excellent breakfast with 24 hour fruit/water and coffee
Great reception area with free coffee all day
Limited choice for breakfast
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is the pool as good as the photos?
136 reviews about this · 4 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
The pool is pleasant and clean enough for cooling off, but it is smaller than the photos suggest.
Check before bookingGuests describe the pool as small, with limited seating.
The pool is pleasant and clean enough for cooling off, but it is smaller than the photos suggest. Limited seating, cold water, shade and reduced privacy make it better for a short dip than a full pool day.




The pool area was beautiful and felt quite private
Pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
How well placed is it, really?
54 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
POR Arak is well placed for walking to Old City sights, cafés, shops and restaurants, while taxis and ride-hailing are convenient.
Check before bookingSome guests found eastern Old City attractions and central areas a longer walk.
POR Arak is well placed for walking to Old City sights, cafés, shops and restaurants, while taxis and ride-hailing are convenient. Some attractions are still a longer walk away, and nearby nightlife may bring occasional localised noise.
Location was perfect walking distance to everything we wanted to do
The location is very convenient - POR Arak is close to the airport by Grab or taxi
the location is almost 5-10 mins drive (or 20-30mins) walk to almost all old city attractions
We had to get tuk tuks everywhere
Overall location is clearly good: Old City access, nearby everyday services, cafés and nightlife, and generally positive walkability evidence outweigh documented limitations about sidewalks and longer walks to some eastern attractions. The score is not higher because the supplied evidence is not a full map survey and nightlife noise exposure is uncertain.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Can you work or take calls from the room?
11 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Wi-Fi is available, but room performance is inconsistent.
Check before bookingNo reported speed measurements are available.
Wi-Fi is available, but room performance is inconsistent. Some guests find it fast and stable, while others report slow or intermittent connections, so remote workers should not rely on it for important calls.
wi-fi is very stable
The wifi is not good especially in the rooms
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is the desk usable for a working day?
11 reviews about this · 4 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
The rooms have a usable laptop desk with nearby power, making short work sessions practical.
Check before bookingThe chair appears basic rather than ergonomic.
The rooms have a usable laptop desk with nearby power, making short work sessions practical. The basic chair, variable natural light and uncertain Wi-Fi make it less suitable for a demanding full workday.




wi-fi is very stable
The wifi is not good especially in the rooms
The evidence supports a proper in-room desk, basic seating, and nearby outlets, making the workspace practically usable for laptop work. The score is moderated because desk dimensions, extended-use comfort, monitor suitability, and consistent natural light are not established.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is there anywhere to train?
0 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026. Limited evidence: treat this assessment as provisional.
There is no documented gym or exercise equipment at the hotel.
Check before bookingNo supplied evidence documents a gym area or gym equipment.
There is no documented gym or exercise equipment at the hotel. Guests who need on-site training should choose another property or plan to exercise elsewhere.
No gym is listed in the supplied facilities, and no supplied review or photograph documents one. This supports treating the gym as unavailable for planning purposes, although the evidence cannot prove the facility does not exist.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Is it worth the money?
35 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
The hotel offers strong value through its comfortable rooms, excellent service and convenient location. It suits travellers who prioritise overall comfort and hospitality over a large pool, dependable room Wi-Fi or gym facilities.
