Room was always clean. Breakfast was great and a lot to choose from. We didn’t have air conditioning, but we had a fan that did its job at night when we needed to be cool. Staff was amazing.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The highlight of my stay was definitely the complimentary breakfast. There was a great variety of fresh and delicious options, including hot dishes, pastries, fruit, and quality coffee. Everything was well-stocked and presented beautifully each morning. The hotel's location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and an outstanding breakfast included with their stay. I look forward to returning in the future!

Well located hotel. Unfortunately, it doesn’t mention that it does not have air conditioning. Never seen a 4 stars hotel without A/C in the rooms but two little fans. This fact would have made me pick a different hotel in Summer time. The bed sheet of one of the beds had a blood stain. It was big enough to make one wonder if it was actually a clean one, and it was quite difficult to miss. The staff was very helpful, polite and professional. Again, the location was also great. So, maybe one of those trips where some things don’t go as one was expecting.

Liked: Amenities
Nice size room with sitting area and coffee nook (instant coffee only provided). The beds and pillows were fairly comfortable. The shower was okay but water pressure could be stronger. There is really no view or balcony and no aircon, although the fan was mostly adequate. The room was not as clean as most 3-4 star hotels and the furniture needs a refresh. The pool and fitness area were very nice, although the pool had a lot of kids in it on the weekend since it is also a local fitness club. The location is very convenient and walkable.
