7/10 Good! (24 reviews)
The Internet was down when I checked. Which was sorted promptly and a member of staff came to let me know. It was remote check in . No staff to see. But the staff was efficient and polite. The room was clean, comfortable and seamed to have been recently refurbished. It was above a restaurant that I never found to be open. There was a bar on site that was quiet and never disturbed me. My only issue with the area was I struggle to get food that I as okay with As I can have a delicate stomach. I'm not sure on afghan food. But a busy food street 15 min walk way.
