Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's convenient location, which is close to attractions, shops, and town centers. Many also found the beds to be comfortable, contributing positively to their stay. However, several reviews highlighted significant cleanliness issues, particularly with bathrooms and room maintenance. Service was often described as lacking, with complaints about unresponsive staff and poor housekeeping. The pool was a frequent disappointment, with some guests noting it was either inaccessible, not as advertised, or appeared unclean. Overall, while the location and bed comfort were positives, cleanliness, service, and pool facilities need improvement.

Did not find heating in the room but staff Ms Mandira was fantastic. She was extremely helpful when we couldn’t make it on time for our check in.
