Reviews and Ratings
I had a pretty decent stay overall. The hotel is located right in the center of town, which made it super convenient for exploring and there’s a lovely park nearby. My room had a huge comfy King size bed with a nice garden view, though the service felt a bit scattered and could use better management. While everything was generally clean and comfortable, the room amenities could be more robust, especially for the price I paid.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location in the center of town and next to a nice park. The rooms were modern and spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfy. However, the service could use some improvement, as it felt a bit disorganized at times. Overall, it offered decent value for money, despite some areas needing attention.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the center of town next to a lovely park, which made it super convenient for exploring. My room came with a balcony overlooking the park, which was a nice touch! However, the service was lacking, feeling disorganized and in need of better management. While the room was decent, it could have benefited from air conditioning. Overall, it was decent value for money, but there are areas that definitely need improvement.
The hotel boasts an excellent location right in the heart of town, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The rooms feature a huge, comfy King Size bed, but there was only a fan for cooling, which wasn't ideal. While the service staff was friendly, it felt like they could benefit from more training to improve customer service. Overall, it’s a decent place with good value for money, although I hope for some improvements in service and amenities.
