10/10 Exceptional

Room was very spacious. There is no laundry facility as stated on hotels.com but an expensive laundry service instead. There is free coffee from a good coffee machine at the lobby and reusable glass flasks/bottles to collect filtered water from the machine at the lobby. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Oyindamola, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay here. The location was convenient, a 15 min walk to the main area. The room was beautifully presented and clean and coming into an air-conditioned room was fantastic after a very hot day of sightseeing. The staff were also lovely, I would stay here again in the future.

Akshay, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable

Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was large. Hotel has an unusual layout and has some quirks here and there. Receptionists were really helpful. The road it's on isn't the nicest but it's close to a metro station and to several major tourist points of interest.
