Nice place. However a member of the staff has been stalking me since my stay. He must have went into the system stole my phone number. Messaged me on WhatsApp. Tried several times to become my Facebook friend. It’s stopped me from wanting to book here again. I liked the hotel and Location very much but he’s been a creep. I didn’t enjoy this. I think it’s rotten to have someone stalk you from a stay at their job.

Comfortable stay at a budget cost
Room was comfortable with fast wifi, however the power to the building turned off twice during our 2 day stay which obviously effected it; in addition, the hot water system needed to be turned on at the wall and so was also effected with the loss of power. The adjoining restaurant, Vista, was very quiet but the food was to a really good standard. I would very much recommend the cheese naan! Overall, giving some leniency to the power loss, I would recommend a stay at Hotel Emerald.

Definitely recommended
Fantastic location and fabulous room. We stayed in a deluxe room that was incredibly spacious with a huge bathtub. The staff were exceptional and helped us organize ubers, gave us suggestions of where to go in the area and really went above and beyond. The owner was there and was incredibly friendly. We felt very at home. The location is walkable and felt very safe. We will definitely be returning.
