9.6/10 Exceptional! (355 reviews)
I’m glad I found this hotel, room is so much bigger, complete mini kitchen, and a washer dryer too! Just wonderful! Very close to TCAT so it’s easy to get to the airport bus. Close to most attractions in the city, and just a few minutes walking distance to train stations. Will definitely stay again and will also recommend to friends! Hotel staff also was so nice and accommodating, I was able to borrow a hair straightener and extra pillows.
