Leaving underwhelmed

Reviewed By adriennszlapak

We spent 3 nights here and were quite underwhelmed and disappointed. While it's understandable that Covid and the lockdowns took a toll on all hotels, the Swiss Garden Beach Resort just looks dirty and dishevelled. The private beach was not cleaned during our whole stay - empty drink bottles, masks and cigarette butts that greeted us on the first day were still there on the last. The hotel was fully booked and staff could obviously not keep up - people kept using the pools without rinsing after the beach and wearing sweatpants instead of proper swimming attire. Housekeeping never managed to clean our room properly (see pictures of what we found post cleaning). All in all, the prices they charge should warrant much better service.

Need improvement on housekeeping

Reviewed By bigbanggi

Had a surprise in the room when I first arrived. Found an underwear left by the previous guest. Not sure if housekeepers cleaned the room before getting the room ready for next guest. Everywhere was dusty and not clean. Stains here and there, even on bedsheet. Requested them to change the bedsheet, but still it’s yellowish and old. Need improvement on cleanliness. I would have expect better service and facilities for a five stars hotel. Thanks.

Budget Guest House

Room 413. No tissues. No mirror in the room. No hair dryer. No water kettle. Not 50 m to Esplanade but 800m. It's not a good place to spend 2 nights or more since the place needs to be more serious in the business. Probably Covid has dampen the spirits of the management.

Ridiculously dirty and unhygienic place to stay

Reviewed By WHChoo

The room has a very musty smell when you walk in. The bed sheets have stains all over. Not only that, the fridge has brownish stains all over on the inside. The water glass and cup are not properly cleaned. The basin has leakage and water was sipping through from the bottom to the floor. The walls between my room (505) were so thin that I can literally hear next door couples moaning and bed banging on the walls late into the night. The public space in the lobby is so dirty that you can see used face mask being left on the sofa seating area from the afternoon until the next day morning and no staffs could be bothered to clean up the area. The staffs are also not bothered to wear masks when attending to the guests. Definitely would not recommend this place for others. Not worthwhile.

Moderate Accomodation

Booked a family room. Toilet was OK but the hair dryer was not working. Called the Hotel Maintenance but only no maintenance personnel after 12 midnight. My wife unable to dry her hair and had to 'sleep' sitting up. :( . Carpet was the thin type. Mattress was spring type. Overall moderate and served our purpose (mainly because all other hotels within the vicinity were fully booked)

I’ve made a booking for 1 night stay for a executive king room with sofa bed. On the morning of the stay, i did the online check in on the marriott apps. The process was smooth up until this. Later in the evening, I received a call saying that they couldn’t provide the room that we booked. And instead offered us another room which didn’t have a sofa bed, at a reduced rate, due to some problem with the maintenance. It was totally ridiculous!! What’s the point of us checking in earlier when our room was simply given to other guests?? I purposely booked that room for the sofa bed as we were travelling with the kids so we wanted them to sleep comfortably. End up, our kids need to sleep on the carpet with the blanket they provided.! Upon receiving the call, i tried to search for other accommodations, but sadly no other options available as it was a busy weekend. Just imagine after long hours of driving from melaka, we were told that our rooms were not available! This shouldn’t happen again either to us or to other guests. This was not our first stay, as previously we did have good memories with the hotel. After this incident, I won’t be returning back, as it did spoilt our mood for the entire journey. Poor us!

Perhaps following to my odd 11pm arrival, the check-in service was ok. The room stink with weird smell and the toiletries were subpar for a 3 star hotel. It was a letdown experience staying here and not a comfy place to put a night or so.
