The staff was great and very helpful. The property was a bit shabby in places, but still very comfortable. Food was creative and good, needed a bit more effort to be excellent.

Suggestion to the restaurant to dim the overhead light and add small lights at the tables and a small flower to make the dinning more cozy.

Great staff!

Excellent, professional staff who went out of their way to help me with my many requests (tour bookings) and questions about the area. The location is accurate and consistent with hotels.com and google maps (should be mentioned, as reviews of other establishments in the area indicate that such discrepancies do occur), i.e. it is central, within easy walking distance of shopping, dining, and the airport. The room was clean and had everything that I needed. Some mosquito repellent is recommended, especially if you want to enjoy the garden in the evening - the hotel is right next to the river after all. I enjoyed my stay and would gladly stay here again.

Good: wonderful staff, all were very helpful and pleasant. Nice outdoor facilities. Breakfast was great. Bed was clean. Bad: the room was in great need of renovation. The carpet was absolutely filthy. Not because it hadn’t been vacuumed but because it had about 30 years of stains and ground in dirt. Wouldn’t walk on it with bare feet. The room was dark with a vaulted ceiling covered with cobwebs. Furnishings worn and outdated. Bathroom had some renovation but done poorly. The faucet was too close to the back of the sink making washing difficult. Towels very thin and dingy. Overall, with the exception of the staff, not a pleasant experience.

J'ai séjourné 2 nuits dans cet hôtel. Ma chambre était propre, bien agencée et spacieuse. Je suis arrivée à 3h du matin et j'ai reçu un bon service. Il est situé à moins de 5 minutes de marche de restaurants et de magasins. Une crème anti-moustique était fournie. Le seul hic, c'est que quand on les contactent via la messagerie Expedia, ils ne répondent pas. C'est frustrant surtout que je savais que j'allais arriver dans la nuit et que j'avais vraiment besoin de réponse.

Ok but!

Great hotel as always however check in a mess as they had cancelled our booking and then took 2 hours to sort it out. Their restaurant does not really offer any ambience. They could make it so much better. Very friendly staff
