Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was situated oddly at the corner, not the most ideal layout, although it was spacious. The service was lacking in guidance but improved during interactions with the lady manager. The location was convenient, close to the city center with plenty of dining options nearby. The dining experience was a highlight with a variety of tasty options, but the facilities were outdated and in need of renovation.
The hotel's rooms were fantastic, big, and roomy with a great bed, although they are dated and need a freshen up but were adequate and comfortable. They were incredibly hot and stuffy, especially overnight, which made it a bit warm. The service was mixed, dealing with a very long line of customers trying to check in and assisting with a refund request due to an emergency, but they were also very informative. The location was good, in desperate need of a revamp, but it was wonderful with fabulous local restaurants and central to all the main attractions, so close to everything. The dining experience had many options, with a full buffet priced at $28 per person, ranging from very ordinary to delish and worth the money. The facilities overall were satisfactory.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms had a beautiful outlook overlooking the church and the river, and the two sets of windows allowed for a comfortable sleep despite the noisy portable air conditioner. The service was top-notch with very obliging staff, although a room change was not initially offered. The location was excellent for exploring the city, but parking could be tricky without hotel staff supervision. The dining experience left something to be desired, but the wood-fired pizza was really good. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms, though in need of an update, were comfortable with good linen and a modern bathroom, and having its own air conditioning unit made me feel safer and healthier. The service was a bit hit or miss, with staff trying their hardest but sometimes felt like they were going through the motions. The location was convenient for my needs, being just off the city center, but there were better options in the area. The dining experience was a winner with excellent selection, although I personally prefer buffet style. Overall, the facilities were adequate.
My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. The location was good, close to beautiful parks and cafes. However, the outlook from my room wasn't the best as it overlooked a church and alleyway. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located close to city attractions and provides spacious rooms with a seating area, but some rooms may lack natural light due to facing building lights. The service was friendly, but staff knowledge was limited, and some areas were not adequately distanced. The location is perfect for exploring the city center and nearby parks, although there was construction noise nearby. The dining experience offered a variety of choices and a pleasant environment. Facilities were satisfactory, though with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel offers stark rooms with no atmosphere but is conveniently located near cafes and lovely parks. The service was a bit rude at times but had some okay aspects. The location is close to restaurants, shopping, and city parks, making it easy to explore. The dining experience was basic, with peaceful moments interrupted by loud staff. Facilities were average.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, very large, with a comfy bed and a modern bathroom. The staff was friendly and professional overall, although there was one minor hiccup with the service at the bar. The location was great for exploring the city and enjoying the nearby markets. The dining experience was extensive, although there was a bit of disturbance. The facilities were well-equipped and convenient.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I initially checked into hadn't been cleaned, but it was quite spacious. Despite the inconvenience, the great coffee and food available in the downstairs lobby were a nice touch. However, the room was far too hot, making it uncomfortable to sleep without air conditioning. Overall, it was a decent but not perfect stay.
The hotel was in a convenient location for dining and shopping, but the lack of soundproofing in the rooms resulted in disturbances from the elevator area. The immediate credit card demand at check-in was unexpected, yet the service throughout the stay was commendable.
The hotel's rooms could use some renovations, particularly the air-conditioning and bathrooms, as they felt slightly outdated. The beds were firm and not very welcoming, and the soundproofing was lacking. Some carpets were damaged, and there were issues with the sink. However, the location was convenient to access the main city and shopping areas, while some improvements could enhance the experience.
I had a great time at this hotel with my two teens. The rooms were clean and in reasonable condition for the price paid, although on the smaller side and lacking complimentary tea/coffee and water. The lounge and chair in the room were a nice touch, making our stay perfect for our family getaway.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and clean, making it comfortable even for all four of us. The limited in-room teas and instant coffees were a small drawback, but overall, the room was neat, tidy, and very cozy. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very polite and helpful. The location was superb, being central to all the shops and restaurants, and I loved the fact that there was a bar and TV downstairs. The dining experience was excellent, with well-planned and delicious meals, though a bit greasy at times. The facilities were great, and I had a delightful time during my stay.
The hotel's location is superb with easy access to restaurants and attractions. The rooms, while comfortable, are dated and have a bad smell. The service had both friendly and rude moments. The dining experience, although overpriced, offered some appreciated early starts. The facility maintains a clean and comfortable environment.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant one overall. The rooms were a bit old-style but comfortable and very spacious, offering a quiet and clean space close to everything in town. The service was friendly and helpful, although some staff members seemed a bit disinterested at times. The location was handy, close to restaurants and shopping, making it quite convenient despite some noise. The dining options were limited, but the area was very clean. Overall, a good value for money stay.
