Ants in bathroom.
Adequate for an overnight given the price for Koror. They picked me up at airport on schedule at 1AM. Pleasant front desk staff. Good AC and good hot water pressure. But, would not recommend for a longer stay. Lumpy bed. Ants in bathroom. Rust and corrosion on metal surfaces... needs some TLC against the effects of tropical climate.

Great bargain
This is a very basic, nothing fancy hotel but it's clean, quiet, everything works and most importantly, it has an extremely friendly and accommodating staff. They went out of their way to take care of us and make sure we had everything we needed. They were also generous with early check-ins and late check-outs. The location on Malakal Island is perfect if you're in Palau for watersports: diving, kayaking or snorkeling as most of the trips leave from close by. There's a number of decent restaurants within short walking distances as well as convenience stores and small markets. If you're on a budget and don't need "resort" luxury, I highly recommend this hotel.

Cheap, clean, functional yet drab
Very clean, helpful service, and relatively cheap. But don't expect much. The shower is a little wonky (e.g. the shower head in the second room I rented was mounted in a corner and hard to reach/angle. The room is like a dorm room - functional but drab. I recommend for folks who need a roof over their head but not much more than that.

Not the most swanky hotel I've stayed at, but perfectly suitable and a quick walk to the dive shop, which is why we were in Palau. Front desk staff was helpful and very friendly, especially with taxis and our lost luggage, and rooms were clean. Kitchen was largely not usable because there was very little in the way of utensils, plates, etc. It would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room.

Extremely clean and the staff alone is the reason we will be coming back, very thoughtful and helpful. They made sure we were up for our 3am flight, helped arrange transportation everywhere, and helped us make reservations for meals while getting us the premiere table for the best views!

Convenient Mid Priced Hotel
A little far to walk to town, although, restaurant next door is very good, good brewery!!! If you are a diver doing a live aboard, the pick up is just one block behind the hotel. Sam Tours is 3-4 blocks, great place for food and conversation/tour sign up, and dive shop on site. Other good restaurants close by as well. Awful WiFi, terrible tv reception.

Great for short stays
Friendly Filipino Staff, always willing to assist. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Its fine for the price, there are some really nice waterfront hotels just a short walk away but twice the nightly rate. Great for short stays, easy for divers who need easy access to live aboard boarding dock but no sea views here nor is it on the waterfront. Short walk to some nice bars/restaurants which are on the water. I would not give a 3 star rating though, if on the water a 3 star may be appropriate. Half the hotel rooms face a oil tank reservoir, the other side pleasant view of the roadway- there goes the 3 star rating! Nice restaurant steps from the hotel entrance, very convenient.

Great dive hotel!
Comfortable, convenient hotel. Great spot for getting to Sam's tours for diving and close enough to restaurants and town. In-room massage available although I didn't have the time to take advantage of the option. Would stay again for sure.

十分に満足
2ベッドルームに友人4人とダイビングで8泊しました。 電子レンジはあります。 炊飯器がありません。残念、しかし同行者が鍋で上手にお米を炊いたので私達は問題なしでした。 当然、便器にはウォシュレットはついていませんが、トイレの詰まりやすさもなく、シャワーの水圧も十分でした。シャンプー・ボディーシャンプー・ボディーコンディショナー？は、ありますがリンスが無く持って行く必要があります。 2ベッドルームで合計4ベッドでした。ベッドルームは広くはないですが十分です。リビング・キッチンの広さは十分です。エキストラベットを足して5人での宿泊もできそうです。ただし、トイレが1つになりますが。 2階の5201号室に泊りましたが、角部屋で隣はリネン室でこちらの声や音楽の音量をあまり気にしなくてよく、気兼ねなく居れました。 バルコニーが無く、ダイビング用品の乾燥には不向きでした。私たちはダイビング終了後もダイブショップで乾燥させてもらいました。 フロントは、日本語はだめですが親切です。 向かいのレストランがパラオでは上位に入る美味しさです。 リゾート感はありませが、私達には十分でした。
