Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay overall. The rooms were comfy and the staff were welcoming, but there were a few areas that could be improved. The location was convenient for my needs, but some aspects of the service were lacking.
The hotel offers renovated and clean rooms, even for a European standard, in a well-secured location. The rooms were spacious, although I faced minor issues with the aircon and TV; also, a bond was required, but overall, it was a satisfying stay.
