Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers well-appointed rooms with a sophisticated decor, though it can get very hot at night. The service is courteous and professional, with some mishaps in room entry. The location is central, though some seating is damaged. The dining experience is mixed, with room for improvement. The facilities are adequate overall.
The hotel offers spacious and very well-decorated rooms suitable for both business and leisure trips, although they could use more regular cleaning. The size of the rooms is excellent with ample amenities, but the location above the bar may not suit all guests.
The hotel was located in a noisy area not far from the center of town, making everything easy to access by foot. The rooms were very narrow and obviously hadn't been used for a long time, but the tea making facilities were good. The service was a mix, with some staff being rude while others were helpful and friendly. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with excellent food quality but needing improvement in freshness. The hotel had smart public areas but lacked some necessary maintenance in the rooms.
