Location
Reviews and Ratings
I must say, my stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service during the night shift was excellent. However, the location in a shady filthy alley was quite off-putting, even though it was very next to the Railway station. The dining experience with American pancakes was a highlight, but the facilities were lacking in some aspects.
I must say, my stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were kept clean, with A/C and all basic amenities, which was a big plus. However, the location was a bit of a letdown being in a very untidy area. The service at night shift was top-notch, but unfortunately, the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations, despite having handmade pasta available.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were kept clean and had all basic amenities, which was great, but the location left much to be desired, as it was in a very untidy area. The service during the night shift was exceptional, yet the dining options were lacking. The homemade ice cream was a unique touch but couldn't make up for the overall setting. The facilities were decent, though the hotel's surroundings were less than desirable.
I found the hotel to be situated in an untidy area which was a major drawback. However, the rooms were surprisingly well-equipped with modern amenities and were kept clean. The service at night shift was attentive and prompt, making my stay comfortable. Although the location was not ideal, being close to the metro station was convenient for traveling around. The dining experience lacked variety and quality, but the signature dishes were a pleasant surprise. The facilities provided were top-notch, offering a luxurious experience overall.
Wow, what a mixed bag! The hotel is smack in the center of a slum, making the location one big downside. On the upside, the rooms were surprisingly kept clean and had all the basic amenities I needed. The night shift service was just alright, nothing to write home about. Dining here was a bust, mainly serving beef dishes which isn't for everyone. The facilities were average at best.
