We had a twin room overlooking the main road on the 11th floor, despite that it wasn’t that noisy. The room was very small. Loved the bathroom, shower was amazing. Great location very easy access to restaurants, shopping and transport. Overall we’d enjoyed our stay.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was extremely convenient, and the room itself was comfortable and spacious. The only real disappointments were the lack of air conditioning and the absence of a microwave in the room. The absence of air conditioning made the evenings a little uncomfortable, and a microwave would have been useful for quick reheating food. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provided a great experience, and I would consider staying again - especially if these amenities are added in the future.
