Excellent value for money!
4*
This hotel is really cute with pastel coloured rooms and a candy theme in the lobby. After spending probably an hour there it was evident why this hotel is ranked so highly on TripAdvisor!
Firstly, check in was easy, the receptionists were welcoming, both at checking in and everytime we walked past, making a simple but effective effort to smile and talk. There was no deposit required at check in. Secondly, they respected a room request I added to my booking for a quiet room; I generally just add this to most bookings as I am a light sleeper, but rarely do hotels mention it or take note of it, however The Tint clearly had, and had reserved one of the higher floor rooms at the end of the corridor for us.
The rooms are really spacious and clean with a balcony. Our towels and complimentary toiletries were replaced daily. The water pressure and temperature in the shower were great and the aircon was excellent. The beds were also really big and comfortable! The hairdryer and TV were good too (had Premier League football!) and there was a safe. We can't comment on breakfast as we didn't choose to add this to our booking, however I do believe there is a small selection available in the morning by the lobby/reception area.
The location of this hotel is also ideal; it is next door to a shopping mall with a cheap food court and the Indy Night Market. It's also a quick walk to Old Town which is fantastic. The hotel is located slightly away from the main street which made it quiet. There are washing machines available for guest use by the carpark which was helpful on our travels.
The only negatives of this hotel are the echoing corridors, and that there are no 'do not disturb' signs - why this is I am unsure, but it means you may be awoken by the cleaning team if you plan on lying in.
The corridors can be quite loud when guests are entering/exiting their rooms and we had loud children running down the corridor on one morning of our stay. Additionally, we were woken up early one morning by housekeeping because there aren't any 'do not disturb' signs which was a bit strange. However, this did not happen again. Some signs for the doors would be a quick fix to make this hotel even better!
Also there were a few ants around the room on occasion but they didn't really bother us that much.
Overall, we had a great stay at The Tint and I would definitely recommend it!
