The staff was amazing. The rooms were clean, I would suggest new pillows as they went flat even using 2 pillows didn’t help. I wasn’t impressed with the breakfast buffet, would not pay for it again.

8.4/10 Very Good! (172 reviews)

I honestly had higher expectations on this hotel, but it was very disappointing. The elevator takes ages to work and you feel like you’ll get stuck there every time you get in. The rooms seem old and the floors literally move while you walk. It was mission impossible trying to get to my room with 2 bags because the hallways are extremely narrow and they even have stairs, like, why? The AC doesn’t work and you feel like you’re in a sauna all night. The hairdryer doesn’t work for longer than 2 minutes before you need to let it rest for it to work again, which makes it impossible to use. Wouldn’t stay here again.
