My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient and close to the city center, making it peaceful for work, but I was warned about safety outside the hotel. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some delicious dishes but poor value for money. The service was generally good but had some inconsistencies with charges and communication. The rooms were hot without air conditioning, but the facilities offered on-site were satisfactory.

Rooms

The rooms, although perfect for two people, were too hot, even with the windows open. They really need air conditioning to make the stay more comfortable.
Service

The staff, in general, were responsive and friendly, but there were some issues with communication regarding charges for services like breakfast that were not clear during check-in.
Location

The hotel's location is a plus point due to its proximity to the city center and business offices, but there were concerns about safety outside the property.

The dining experience was a mix; some dishes were exquisite, but the overall value for money was not satisfactory, with hidden charges for supposedly free services.
Facilities

The facilities at the hotel were decent, offering services like dry cleaning, laundry, and shuttle service, but improvements could enhance the overall guest experience.

I stayed at the hotel which had both positive and negative aspects. The location was very central but unfortunately right next to a noisy church that disrupted my sleep. The proximity to the city center was convenient, however, the area outside the hotel felt a bit unsafe due to warnings about muggings. The rooms, although advertised for 3 people, had only 2 twin beds and lacked a good view. The dining options were limited but acceptable for the price.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms, but with some drawbacks like the lack of a good view. The service was friendly but had some minor issues, and the location, while central, posed safety concerns. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and comfortable for 3 people, but unfortunately lacked a good view. The A/C room was nice, but the bathroom had water splashes everywhere due to the absence of a shower curtain, making it unusable afterward.
Service

The staff was friendly overall, but kept asking about skipping room cleaning and seemed affronted when asked for cleaning. They were attentive to payment details but charged extra for food, impacting the value.
Location

5.6/10

The hotel had a great central location near the city center, making it convenient for business travelers. However, the constant noise from a nearby church disrupted my sleep. The service was a mix of excellent and poor experiences, with some staff going above and beyond while others were not as attentive. The dining options were a bit underwhelming and overpriced, although the overall facilities were decent.

Rooms

The room was too hot even with the windows open, and the air conditioning was in poor condition. Although the bathroom was clean, the lack of a shower curtain made it unusable afterward. Having only a single towel was also inconvenient.
Service

The staff offered outstanding service and made efforts to ensure my comfort. However, there were issues with incorrect charges for food and some inconsistency with room cleaning requests that led to mixed experiences.
Location
5.0
The hotel's proximity to the city center was a plus point, but the area outside the hotel was dusty and somewhat dodgy, where I felt unsafe walking alone due to warnings of muggings. Additionally, the loud church nearby disrupted my sleep, with services occurring until early morning.
Dining
5.0
The dining options were a bit overwhelming and expensive for the quality provided. Information was not readily offered, and there was room for improvement in the pricing and variety of menu items.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities offered dry cleaning, laundry services, shuttle service, and assistance with tours and tickets. While these were available, the overall value for money was not ideal considering the issues faced in other areas of the hotel.
