Positive Reviews
positive:
Location is peaceful and convenient
A great many visitors liked the fact that this hotel is set in a quiet, unassuming suburb yet still has a decent selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets within easy reach. It was also observed that the presence of several bus stops right outside the hotel makes up for the lack of a local metro station.
positive:
Receptionists are efficient and accommodating
It has to be said that the small yet highly efficient reception team here runs like a well-oiled machine. As well as being very capable, many guests appreciated the fluency with which the receptionists could converse in English.
positive:
Guest rooms are very clean indeed
The vast majority of visitors who stayed here made very positive observations about the general state of cleanliness within the accommodations. Clearly, the housekeeping team here are very adept at keeping on top of things.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Compact accommodations feel quite claustrophobic
Opening even a medium-sized suitcase can be a real challenge in one the tiny guest rooms at this hotel. Suffice to say, very few guests chose to spend much time doing anything other than sleep within their diminutive room.
negative:
Some guest rooms have no windows
If you want to enjoy the privilege of having natural daylight in your accommodation then opt for a double room. Numerous guests who've stayed in twin-bed rooms said their rooms didn't have any kind of window.
negative:
Wi-Fi is inconsistent
A great many guests have complained about the consistently inconsistent availability of free Wi-Fi throughout this hotel. Not ideal for those who depend on the Internet for work.
