Chihpen Century Hotel

Hotel offers various interactive activities, room is clean, service is friendly, and we like the most is hotel offers staff assistance to transport luggage from the car drop off all the way to your room, saving the hassle for guests with a lot of luggages.

This was actually our second night at the hotel but on a separate booking. The second night cost only 2/3 of the first night and for the price, I would recommend staying at the hotel even with it’s downsides. But first, kudos to the check-in staff for allowing us to check-in just once and continue the stay in the same room. I’ve been to hotels that insist that we check out and re-check in because the bookings are different. Now the downsides (considering that they claim to be a 5 star hotel) - the gym is extremely small and ill-equipped (there are many better ways to make a small gym functional), the hot spring can barely be considered one (more like a hot tub), and as mentioned in my prior review, the carpark ramp is way too steep and there is no way not to scratch the front bumper lip when exiting (btw, I wasn’t driving a sports car but a Corolla Altis that only has me in it). To end off, the breakfast spread is actually pretty good.

The room was surprisingly good, spacious and comfortable. Surprisingly it has a weighing scale but lacked more basic amenities like a bottle opener. Also the wifi and TV disconnected which required us to ring the frontdesk to fix. We topped up for the buffet dinner but was frankly disappointed by the quality. I would rather be charged more and be served higher quality food. Major issue with the hotel is with the carpark. The ramp is so steep that it scratched the front bumper lip when exiting the carpark, and that is when I deliberately ask all the passengers to wait at the lobby with their luggage.

OK
