Hotel Orkin is often praised for its clean and spacious rooms, providing a comfortable stay, and many guests appreciate the complimentary coffee and delicious breakfast offered. The downstairs ping pong area is a hit, especially for families.

Acceptable But With Some Issues

rotten egg smelllimited ventilation
The hot water had a noticeable rotten egg smell, and ventilation was limited (I found this pretty annoying). Breakfast was included, yet my early flight meant I missed it and no alternative or compensation was available. The television in my room did not work at all. It was a 30-minute walk to the city center, which isn't ideal.
