A wonderful stay at the hotel. Staff were friendly, buffet breakfast was filled with variety and facilities were good. Bathroom was slightly dated, but overall a comfortable stay in a great location near airport bus and in the city centre.

Amazing breakfast, very accommodating for a request for a room in a quiet location - the room was super comfortable and quiet, the AC didn’t manage the 100F heat too well but we were thankful for it! Lots of options for eating close by, easy access to airport bus and great base for seeing the city.

Enjoyed a night at the Carat Boutique Hotel. The location is great for exploring the city. It is on a busy side street that appears to be popular among pedestrians after hours. Nice breakfast buffet in the covered interior courtyard. Would stay there again :-)

Nice hotel. Great location

Good hotel. Very central area close to metro and restaurants. My only complaint is that the breakfast was lacking especially for such a hotel. No selection of eggs, just mushy "scrambled " eggs. Fruits were very basic. A lot of sugary pastries though. Room was reasonably spacious. Bed was very comfy and the bathroom was not cramped. Generally, I would recommend this hotel particularly for it's good location

The location is absolutely perfect if you want to be in the middle of all happenings. Place was spotlessly clean. Staff was very kind and accommodating. You can’t bring coffee up to the room from their restaurant but Starbucks is a few step down from the hotel. Definitely a 5 star experience!!!
