Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with hot water and convenient proximity to the staff area, which can create noise. The service was prompt and professional, with a slight issue of privacy concerns. The location is good, secure, and easily accessible, though room cleanliness needs attention. The dining experience was below expectations in terms of variety and value. The facilities are adequate but might benefit from improvements.
The hotel has a convenient location in a quiet neighborhood but lacks cleanliness in design. The staff are friendly and welcoming, yet there is a need for urgent intervention to improve professionalism. The rooms are decent but missing the air conditioning remote, and additional water bottles have to be requested. The dining experience leaves much to be desired, especially for the price paid. While the facilities are adequate, there were noise disturbances from neighboring guests.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were amazing, clean, and comfortable, but unfortunately, my phobia for lizards was triggered when I spotted one in my room, which made my stay a bit unpleasant. Missing amenities like a bar fridge and microwave were a downside. The service was prompt in addressing issues, but the noise in the passage was bothersome and affected my experience. The location was convenient for my meeting but lacked some expected amenities in the area. The dining experience was not satisfying due to limited options and high prices for breakfast. However, the home-made ice cream was a delightful treat. The facilities were adequate, but some were missing or not up to standard, affecting the overall experience.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable, but there were some issues like the lack of fresh smell, no assistance with bags to the upstairs room, and poor soundproofing. On the upside, the room was cozy and the bed was spacious enough for a comfortable stay with my partner.
The hotel had a good location that was convenient for my business trip, with a professional and clean outlook. The rooms were comfortable and perfect, furnished with quality furniture. The staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the soundproofing was not adequate, and there was some noise from neighboring rooms. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options at a relatively high price point.
