Guest Ratings & Reviews
Despite showing some signs of age and wear and tear, the hotel's central location was perfect, clean, spacious, and very convenient. The service, although disinterested at times, was more than helpful. The need for an upgrade is noticeable, but being able to walk to business commitments in the city and the incredible shopping opportunities in the CBD made up for it. Close proximity to supermarkets and helpful late check-out assistance added value to the overall experience.
Staying at the apartments was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, perfect for an extended stay, but a bit dark due to limited windows. The service was polite and accommodating, yet with some issues regarding faulty items. The location was convenient, close to public transport and a shopping mall, though disrupted by roadworks and noisy surroundings. The dining options were satisfactory, offering items like yogurt. Overall, a good choice for those looking for a comfortable stay with convenient amenities.
The hotel is in a great location close to all the shops and restaurants, offering spotless rooms equipped with everything needed. The service was lovely and helpful, making the stay comfortable. However, the small room size and difficulty moving around the bathroom due to single beds were minor inconveniences.
