i stayed there for 9 days last may 2008, my first night was terrible- they gave me an old room with dirty wooden floors, small windows. they only transferred me to a newer room on the 12th floor when i threatened to move to another hotel. staff was ok- friendly, helpful. food was a little bit expensive. more

We stayed at The Palace in February 08 in an 'Executive Suite'. The room we got was far from a suite more of a dated, damaged and dirty room. The wooden floor moved underfoot and was damaged and scratched beyond belief. The Riverside view promised, did not materialise and the bathroom had some mould in it and ran out of... more

Our room on the 13th floor was nice enough and we liked the view from the balcony. The location of the hotel is great. We found the breakfast to be okay and the staff nice. The hotel is now charging (or trying to) guests an extra $25 to be located on a higher floor. They apparently cannot decide if the... more

I am booked into this hotel for an exorbitant price of US$90+15% service charge and taxes.

However, The room is so uninsulated from noise. The glass window is... more

Unbeatable location but only worth staying in if you're a very heavy sleeper. The constant BOOM-BOOM-BOOM from the Karaoke was torture and I was on a floor far away from it. Nice to have a balcony, wonderful breakfast etc but I just can't stay there again. more

What everyone else states about this hotel is true. It is so loud you can hear the dico vibrating on the top floors until 3-4 a.m. The hotel is a favourite with travel agents. I would not pay a dime to stay here. Too bad as the location is good. more

An ATM and Exchange Bureau are located across the road. We felt quite safe in the neighbourhood. The hotel itself, well.....There is a restuarant located downstairs for lunch and ddinner and a... more

First night in 3rd floor room. Felt pillow vibrating !! Moved to seventh floor, still heard the bass reverberating through the walls but could manage to sleep. On checking out after 5 days was asked at... more

Great position, friendly staff, ok rooms, very nice breakfast, lovely roof top pool and bar area. The only real problem was the Night Club, the Doof Doof can be heard right through the building. I was so tired I slept right through it but others in my group had trouble sleeping. more
