Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located in the city center with excellent hospitality and friendly staff. However, the service was below expectations. The rooms offer a fabulous shower but lack a window to open. Dining options are included in the rate, but the location faces a dangerous road junction.
The hotel offers rooms with a larger window and a nice outlook, complimentary breakfast, a huge shower with great water pressure, all located on the upper floors. However, the service, though apologetic, was very poor compared to our usual experiences of great service. The location is close to food places but on a very dangerous road junction. The dining comes at affordable rates but with limited options. The facilities were decent with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with complimentary breakfast and SKY channels, featuring huge showers with excellent water pressure. The view from the windows is outstanding. However, the price could be more budget-friendly.
