Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has clean and spacious rooms with super comfy beds, but lacks a proper desk and chair for working and a visible AC unit that's noisy. The location is convenient, close to public transport, but not very charming or walkable. The service was friendly, with some improvisations to make guests happy. The dining options, though limited, come without hefty upcharges.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated, making for a comfortable short visit. However, the lack of a proper desk and chair for working was a downside, and the laundry service didn't automatically return laundry to the room which was a bit inconvenient.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and nice, but some aspects like the visible AC unit and fake closet were off-putting. The service was friendly and personal, although there were some minor issues. The location was excellent with a bright and inviting ambiance, but there were some drawbacks in terms of room size and facilities.
