Simple hotel for a nights stay. Inside is great and restaurant bar on the top floor is very nice and drinks were good. Outside of the building is a bit tired but that doesn’t matter really. We had a great stay.

well managed hotel. nicely furnished, super clean rooms with very comfortable bed and bedding. very friendly and attentive staff (kuuoko, quinn leigh, and tisha were particularly helpful). breakfast buffet is fantastic, but unfortunately, during my entire stay there was no dinner buffet offered. wifi in my room was strangely erratic (perhaps better in other rooms near to router). in the looby wifi is always very good.

To say they have a swimming pool they could be done under the trade descriptions act, it was like a large bath 3mtrs by 1/12 mtrs at most, a dipping pool. Nice views at sunset from the roof bar Terrible music playing loudly in the street from 0700 until 0200 19 hours.

We received the warmest and friendliest greeting from Gabriel and Tisha at reception after arriving from our exhausting overnight travels. Their smiles instantly boosted our energy. They both went out of their way to elevate our check-in experience and we are grateful for their genuine desire to help their guests feel happy. Keep up the excellent work. We will be back :)

The location is very good. Right next to the hotel there is a supermarket. We had the dinner at the hotel’s restaurant in the 15th floor. But the food was just ok.

10/10

Property is perfectly located in heart of the city, where businesses are located. Ideal for people watching yet very peaceful. There is a mall attached the to the hotel so there is a number of activities there. At night, the area is peacefully quiet, with a couple of social lounges area within walking distance.
