8/10 Very good! (364 reviews)
Hotelli on helppo löytää ja siinä on viihtyisä aula sekä aamiaispaikka hotellin kattokerroksessa. Huone oli siisti ja tasokas, sekä myös hiljainen. Ilmastointi tehokas ja helposti säädettävissä. Huoneen tilavuus hyvä, eli ei tule ahdasta.
Vuoteet olivat mukavia ja on hienoa, että on tarjolla myös kolmen hengen huoneitakin.
Hotellin vieressä on pari hyvää ravintolaa, eli hotelliin saapumisen jälkeen on helppo käydä lounaalla tai illallisella.
Hotellin respa oli lopulta joustava, vaikka vahingossa olin varannut varauksen vain yhdelle hengelle. Kaksi henkeä onnistui kuitenkin hyvin.
Hotellia on helppo suositella ja hotellin hintakaan ei ole paha, varsinkaan jos kolmen hengen huoneessa jakaa hinnan kolmeen osaan matkaajien kesken.

9/10 Wonderful! (193 reviews)
Do not trust the photographs as this hotel definitely has not done upkeep in age's.
To make matters worse, This hotel is in a very terrible area. It takes between 20 minutes and 2 hours to get a taxi anywhere. Yes… that big of a difference. The streets are horrible around this hotel and it is unimaginable hard to travel around. We were here for 5 days total and we did not enjoy our stay.
