The breakfast was amazing, loved the beds and reception staff. The only issue was heater and hot water during our stay - the service was super slow. Otherwise, I really appreciate the cleanliness and well kept rooms. Thumbs up for great rooms at affordable prices!

It’s located outside main City but convenient and easily accessible. Daily morning breakfast is excellent with lots of variety. The staff is very helpful and polite. I would say very good value for money.

シャワーが微温いお湯しか出ない。 部屋が安臭い。 施設が古く暗く感じる。 朝食はお世辞にも美味しく無い。 スタッフは親切でとても良い感じな方が多いのでそこは救われました。

Stains were found on sofa, bed and towels. No definite explanation given by the cleaning supervisor nor the resident manager of the hotel nor much intent to reclean the room.

We had gone for a family holiday, booked 4 rooms. The Rooms were just not upto mark..Door chain not functioning, Mini fridge either absent or not working in some rooms. Hotel seemed short staffed. Toaster was malfunctioning, got repaired next day. Coffee Machine was not working. The sad part was the non responsive attitude of the front desk who made no attempt to rectify shortcomings. Basics like hand towels/Napkins had to be requested for each day. All in all not a value for money proposition. Its at best akin to a TWO star property at fancy prices.

Hotel situato fuori dal caos più totale della città, quindi posizione ottimale. Alla reception c era un impiegato non troppo gentile. La colazione era solo di tipo indiano, quindi per noi impossibile mangiare qualche cosa. Nel complesso per un rapporto qualità/prezzo, niente male.
