The hotel had a great location but I found the rooms a bit noisy since mine was on the first floor right next to the road. That said, they were clean and comfortable enough for my stay. The staff was friendly and very helpful, which really added to the experience. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk to get to the nearest metro station or shopping area.

The staff, however, were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was decent, requiring a bit of a walk to get to the metro or shopping areas. Overall, it offers good value for money, but I needed to manage my expectations regarding room size.

Overall, my stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the rooms were clean and had a nice layout with both a double and single bed. The friendly staff were always willing to help. However, the location wasn't ideal since I had to walk several blocks to reach the nearest metro station or shopping mall. Additionally, the dining options were a bit of a letdown. Despite these issues, the hotel was fairly priced and had decent service.

I stayed at this hotel recently and while the rooms were clean and comfortable, they were a bit noisy due to the location next to the road. The staff was friendly and helpful, which was a big plus.
