    The mattress was so comfortable. I had good night sleep

    Great value for money for a family of 4.
    Perfect location, friendly staff, effective air condition, comfy beds. Nice roof terrace.
    Bathrooms slightly worn down, rooms a bit small.

    Depends on what room you get - could be terrible or good
    The location is great and the staff is kind and helpful.
    We got checked in into a room that was on the ground floor and very smelly, mouldy , dark and AC barely working. I raised the concern to staff at the desk and was moved to a different room on higher floor which was good. The hotel is fine but they need to renovate the ground floor room/s or dont accommodate any paying customers there because the room was absolutely horrible. Breakfast menu - I suggest creating a new one. Why to show people a menu with items that you dont do or have ? I dont understand that. They only offer an instant coffee even though the menu offers all types of proper real coffees. The same with teas selection. Please add a barrel of water to you breakfast. Its ridiculous not having any water at breakfast and having to ask to only receive a small plastic bottle. Why to waste so much plastic.... The rooftop could be done as chilling area for guests as well to offer additional breezy area to hang out.
