Palm Tree Genlex Condo

This was hands down THE WORST experience we’ve had. We booked this room only to spend a few hours there between flights. Its location was our reason for choosing this place and since it was on the cheaper side, we weren’t expecting a lot from it. But we were not prepared for how bad this was! First of all it is a nightmare to find the correct compound where the room is located. Staff kept radioing each other, sending us this way and that to figure out where it was. This is not even a hotel. More like a private room being rented out. So you don’t get any of the normal hotel services and staff have no obligation to assist you. In fact, they don’t even hand you the key. Just point you towards the room. Now let’s get to the cleanliness. It was NASTY. Like I said, we were prepared for low quality due to the price but we didn’t want to sit anywhere - even less sleep on the bed. I’ve included some photos showing rice scattered around the fridge, stains on the floor and empty shower gel bottles in the shower. Why? Why put empty bottles? They also didn’t include any basics such as toilet paper. We ended up leaving 4 hours earlier simply because we felt the airport might be cleaner. Honestly, take this rental off the platform. We’ve never been disappointed in Trip, but the pictures are miss leading. It gives a sense that this is a normal hotel room when it is absolutely not.

Location in airport so convenient

The area is very nice for a walk. On the left are shopping malls, shops and local zone. On the right are convenience store, Church, other hotels such as Marriott, Belmont, Footbridge to Terminal 3 and elevated streets. Very convenient and clean to walk to Terminal 3 because we walk inside the new and modern footbridge. Got an apartment on the 2nd floor and can see the front entrance. The room is large and has a kitchen with microwave and kettle. No washing machine and no toiletries but no problem as I brought my own. Comfortable clean bed. Wish that they would add the underpad in case any guest causes any mark or a woman has her period. Now they only place a bed sheet directly over the mattress. Reception and Security staff are very welcoming and polite to everyone who came. We waited in the main Reception until the Host came around 2:20pm and led us to the Cluster we stayed. At the 2nd Reception, we registered and the Host led us to our room. When checking out, we returned the key into the mail box of our room. The condo is quite luxury. Room has old furnitures but shower room is new. Compared with rooms of the same price range, this is a great place to stay. Thank you so much for the help from the 2 ladies at Reception so that I could receive my parcel I bought online.
