Chaba Chalet Hotel

Amazing value great location for everything

Friendly staff. Hotel room needed updating. Low shower pressure. Intermittent Wifi.

Quick check in. The frontdesk staff was very nice to check us in eventhough it's just past 10am. She even gave us one of the handicap superior rooms at the ground floor, just next to the parking area. The room looks new. Nice queen bed. 4 soft pillows. Warm blanket/comforter. TV has many English channels. The small refrigerator has 2 bottles of water. They have multipurpose area in one side of the bed that can be used as a dresser with huge mirror, as a cabinet with 5 cloth hangers, as table, as luggage rack, etc. Bathroom has new installed toilet bowl and I like the sink too. Cons: No complementary coffee supplies and coffee maker. Though you can ask a cup or two of hot water in their restaurant. Aircon is sometimes weak. The small refrigerator is put flat on the floor. Lots of mosquitos especially in the morning. The worst: the yellow water that comes out in the bathroom and the nasty smell of sewage that comes out from the drainage. When I cover it using the floor rug, 75% of the smell goes away. Nevertheless, we ended up staying for 6 nights in three separate bookings because it served our purpose - the location, which is close to everything. I started to feel uncomfortable with the staff during our last few days though.

Overall everything was all right. The breakfast was filling, though underwhelming. My main problem was the air conditioner, which blew straight on my head, leaving me with the option of catching a head cold and sore throat (which I did) or not getting proper sleep. Internet was patchy. On the other hand, the location is pretty good.

We very much enjoyed Chaba Chalet. We will be back. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We opted not to have cleaning, but our clean towels and water were there waiting for us every day. In other hotels, we always have to go and ask. All three people at the front desk were great! Breakfast lady was excellent! Location is the best! Room was spacious and very bright with a beautiful view! Whenever I asked for hot water for tea, people gladly gave it to me. But, it would be great if there was a hot water dispenser in the lobby for us to take ourselves. Also, a microwave would be nice in the lobby to heat up anything.
