Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the rooms were equipped with a microwave, and the air-conditioner worked well despite being a bit noisy. I appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea in the rooms but felt that the price I paid didn't necessarily match the overall value received. The location was convenient, especially being close to the metro, but the noisy surroundings due to the high traffic avenue were a downside. The service was decent, with helpful housekeeping and tour assistance, although nothing exceptional. The dining experience left something to be desired, particularly with the limited hot wok dishes, and the facilities were adequate but not overly impressive.
The hotel is situated in a nice neighborhood, overlooking a bustling avenue, and is very close to some fantastic restaurants. The rooms come with convenient amenities like a microwave and free coffee and tea, right by the bed, offering great comfort. However, the dining experience was average, with limited dining options.
