Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's location is great for exploring the city, but the rooms were not as expected from the photos. The service was helpful, especially with small conveniences like a kitchen facility and ironing services. The central location was convenient for most activities, though being close to a night club could be a drawback. The dining options were okay, but there was room for improvement. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is city central with cafes nearby and taxis at hand. The rooms are smallish but meet the expectations for the price range, although the smell of curry was a bit overwhelming at times. The service was always polite and helpful, particularly during our check-in. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of key attractions. The dining options were sufficient but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, a good value for the price.
The hotel was in a great location surrounded by shops and restaurants, making it fantastic for exploring the city. The rooms, though smaller than expected, were tidy and had the essentials for a short stay. The service was friendly and welcoming, with helpful staff, but there were delays due to elevator usage between floors. The dining options were simple and convenient, although not worth the extra cost. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel was a decent choice for a short stay, offering a convenient location and friendly service. However, the tiny rooms and lack of proper dining options were drawbacks. The water pressure in the bathroom was also quite strong, almost causing flooding.
The hotel rooms didn't match the online photos, they were small and quite shabby, but the service was really friendly and accommodating. The location is a mix of pros and cons due to the noise at night from nearby bars, but it's perfect for exploring the CBD and accessing transportation. The dining experience was mediocre, and the facilities are limited.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with everything I needed, but they were smaller than expected. The staff was friendly and accommodating, although there were a couple of hiccups with the service. The location was convenient, close to the CBD and major attractions, but noise from nearby pubs was a downside. The dining options were basic, and the facilities met the minimum requirements.
The hotel is conveniently located in the inner city, with easy access to shopping areas and major attractions. The rooms, however, were smaller than expected and not in great condition, with unpleasant odors and cleanliness issues. The service was friendly and accommodating, making our stay more enjoyable. The dining options could be improved in terms of variety, but the location was ideal for exploring the city on foot.
The hotel's location was superb, near tourist attractions and public transport. The rooms were adequately equipped, though had a persistent smell issue. The staff were friendly and helpful. The dining options were variable but recommended for budget stays.
