Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center with easy access to various sites, but the noise from the nearby highway can be disruptive. The rooms, although facing the main road and lacking in soundproofing, are decent, though the breakfast options are limited. The service is exceptional with helpful and friendly staff members. A bit noisy due to the proximity to a busy roundabout, but manageable during the day which allows for exploring the vibrant town. Overall, a mixed experience with noticeable noise issues but great support from the kind staff.
I stayed at the hotel for a short visit, and while the rooms were simple and clean, there were some issues with noise and plumbing. The service was friendly and helpful overall. The location was convenient but had its safety concerns. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were decent.
The hotel had a few drawbacks but also some positive aspects. The rooms were dirty, extremely outdated, and noisy at night. The management was unhelpful and rude when addressing complaints, and the outside view from the room was unpleasant. However, the service was outstanding, with the staff being warm and attentive. The hotel's location, though noisy due to its proximity to a busy roundabout, was convenient for city center access. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were somewhat lacking.
The hotel rooms are a bit old but very comfortable and nice, equipped with fans and mosquito nets, although not all rooms have AC, only a few have fans. Expect tiny standard rooms without a fan, but they provide a table fan upon request. The management can be rude and unhelpful in handling complaints, which can be upsetting.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and nice, but the interaction with the management was disappointing. Despite the nice room, the attitude of the leader upset me, and handling my complaint was not handled well by him.
The hotel had clean and well-stocked rooms, but they were a bit small. It's a good value if you just need a place to sleep. The service was friendly and helpful. The location wasn't as comfortable as expected, being close to a highway, which made transportation a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was average, with prices being higher than expected. Overall, the hotel offers basic amenities suitable for a short stay.
