9.2/10 Wonderful! (12 reviews)
It’s a new hotel which opened just recently. Accordingly the interior and amenities are fresh and modern. The staff was friendly but unfortunately not up to the standard of the hotel. Services like breakfast, laundry, restaurant etc. don’t match the quality criteria of a 4* hotel. Very noisy on some evenings until late night due to loud banquets on the upper floor.
