Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers nice rooms with everything you need but may have some noise from the outside. The service is outstanding, with friendly and accommodating staff, although there was an issue with the fine print. The location is convenient but noisy due to road traffic, providing easy access. The dining experience is good with options available although not perfect. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service but with some noise concerns.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were well thought out with a good desk to work on, but the area is undergoing some reconstruction. The service from the owner was very helpful, although some staff from other nationalities could be unhelpful. The location was really good, close to restaurants and bars, but there were some noisy neighbors nearby. The dining experience at the nearby Unknown Chapter Cafe was convenient, serving globally inspired dishes. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some minor downsides.
The room I stayed in was not very accommodating as it was constantly hot, the blinds on the window let more sun in than keep it out, and the cooling facility was just a fan that didn't really help. On the upside, the location was excellent, close to various city attractions and supermarkets.
I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic, comfortable, and had all the facilities a solo traveler like me would need. However, the mornings were a bit bright if you prefer darkness, and there was some noise from the hotel staff moving in and out of the next room.
I found the hotel quite clean with all facilities you need when traveling, but it was rather noisy with people coming and going all night right by the rooms, which made it deafeningly loud. However, the location was convenient, close to cafes and shopping malls.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the air conditioning was very clean and efficiently utilized the small space in the room, it felt quite cramped and more suitable for students rather than mature couples. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the initial issue with the air conditioning was a downside. The location was convenient, being close to the city center and popular dining spots, but the lack of space within the room was a drawback. The dining experience was decent, although some more seating options would have been appreciated.
The hotel is centrally located in the city center, making it ideal for visiting friends and exploring. The rooms, while small, have everything needed but seem a bit tired. The service was a mix of helpfulness and unhelpfulness. The location is superb for access to eateries but can be affected by construction. Dining options are nearby, and the facilities are satisfactory.
I had a wonderful 2-night stay at this hotel. The room was perfect for our needs, clean, quiet, and warm, situated in an excellent location for exploring the city. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, making our stay even more pleasant. The location was convenient overall, although some noise disturbances were a minor downside. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the early breakfast delivery. Great value for money overall.
The hotel has new and comfortable rooms with everything needed, but it can be noisy due to the proximity to the main door. The lack of a small table and chairs may be inconvenient, and the room size is small. Friendly and attentive staff provide great local recommendations, although there were issues with addressing parked cars. The location is excellent, close to supermarkets, cool bars, and the city center, but noise from the street may be a concern. There are various dining options nearby, although specific breakfast services may not be available. Overall, the hotel offers a decent stay with room for improvement in noise control and room amenities.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and bigger than expected, with modern and spacious decor and plenty of homely touches. The location was exceptionally convenient, making it easy to walk to everything in the city. However, the bathroom lacked shelving or hooks which was a bit inconvenient.
I absolutely loved this hotel! It was perfect for us traveling with 2 young children. The rooms were modern, well noise insulated, and perfectly laid out. They were very tidy, and the bed was comfortable after a long day of travel. The only downside was the absence of a table, so if you want to eat or do any work in the room, you'll have to do so on the bed.
The hotel rooms were smaller than expected and very noisy at times, but they were quite clean. The staff was happy to help, although they could use more training in handling certain issues. The location was convenient with easy access to the city center, supermarkets, and restaurants. The dining experience was good, especially with breakfast delivered early. Overall, the facilities were sufficient, though the noise from neighboring cafes could be a downside at times.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and newish, although quite small, but still very comfortable and clean. However, the room was very hot, and opening the windows didn't make much of a difference. The service was excellent with professional and lovely staff. The location was perfect for a city trip, being close to the CBD, but the security was lacking. Dining across the courtyard was an inconvenience, and the dining experience was limited. Overall, my stay was pleasant with some room for improvement.
