Hotel PaPa Whale

Affordable, "aesthetic" and accomodating staff.

The room has slightly bad sound proofing. You can slightly hear people talking on the other side of the room. Also, the room that I got was technically clean but some it was a bit dusty for some reason. Like they cleaned the room but forgot to dust some furnitures and fixtures. Oh yeah, the room's lighting is dark if you have no windows. I like it, but maybe some people will be turned off by it.

Great location,

The rooms were super small but that’s probably very typical for most Asian hotels

The location was excellent, with many great cafés, shops, and interesting places within easy walking distance. The breakfast was very tasty and felt quite unique compared to typical hotel offerings, which made the experience more memorable. I also really appreciated the distinctive interior design — it gave the hotel a special character.

At times the staff seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the number of guests, and it felt like having more team members on duty could help ease the pressure and improve the overall experience. The biggest issue for me was the lack of proper windows or the possibility to open them. We stayed in two different rooms: in one, the window was facing outside, but it was covered and could not be opened to let in any fresh air. The absence of natural daylight made the space feel cramped and slightly disorienting. In the other room, there were window-like structures only.
