Reviews and Ratings
Upon entering the hotel, there was a noticeable smell of cigarettes in the rooms, but overall, they were spacious and clean. The service provided was efficient and responsive, although not overly friendly. The location was convenient, especially for exploring the city center and nearby eateries. The dining experience offered a mix of great options like fried noodles and samosas, but also lacked variety in some areas. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, catering to basic needs.
The hotel offers a quieter room, though it wasn't ready for check-in after 2:30. There's a lack of amenities in the toiletries range, but I managed to get a bottle of shampoo to share. The soundproofing is weak, allowing noise from the walkway and neighboring rooms to be heard.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were very comfortable, the noise level was a bit high for my liking. The location was convenient for exploring the city but double parking in front of the hotel was a hassle. The dining options were very limited, but the service was exceptional.
