Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The location is great to all shopping places...Rooms are clean and good, shower room is little conjuested...break fast options are limited. The biggest problem is of not having the restaurant for dinner and hence need to order from outside.But still i found it good place to stay.
Breakfast was excellent however if you are there upon opening very limited hot food was ready.
The rooms were a bit small but were clean and functional.
Location was great and staff were helpful.
The property is in a central location with lots of places for dining, shopping and site visit. The room is a good size and clean. The free breakfast was a plus and it was good each day. Outside of the hotel is very active with locals vendors so you have to be more observant. Overall it was a good experience.

Bad check in
On checkin the receptionist was rude, unhelpful and gave the impression that I was a problem.
Difficult to find the hotel as it is/but it is in the city centre and perfect for exploring the city on foot. Can not park own vehicle in parking garage. Used to be a block of flats, not standard hote layout
The staff was attentive and professional. Made you feel welcome. All of my needs were taken care of. Awesome location and enjoyed the walk around the area.
