Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was decent, but not without its quirks like a noisy air con that took a while to warm up. The highlight was the staff's quick response to removing a spider. Despite some hiccups, the service was exceptional, especially with my allergy during breakfast. The location, although central, had its challenges in accessibility. The dining experience was mixed with a lackluster room service, but the variety at the restaurant made up for it. Overall, the facilities were average.
I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into a room which was so fresh and clean, even though there was confusion initially about our assigned room. The rooms are a good size and comfortable, equipped with tea/coffee making facilities and plenty of towels. However, there were some maintenance issues that needed attention.
The hotel had some ups and downs during my stay. The rooms were comfortable and had everything I needed, but the executive suite felt smaller than expected. The service was a bit inconsistent, with a mix of nice breakfast and helpful staff. The location was convenient but felt a bit dated. The dining experience was fresh and tasty, although a limited selection was available. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to access various attractions and amenities. The rooms are comfortable with a nice layout, though it can be a bit cold at times. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who are quick to address any issues that may arise. The dining options are good overall, with delicious meals available for room service. The location is great, especially for those attending events in the city center, and the facilities are well-maintained.
