The staff were amazing. We were a family of 5 with very young children, who were very active. The staff were very patient with the chaos that's our family and jumped in to help at every opportunity. Re booked them for our stay after our return from the resorts.
The room was spacious. House keeping was good. The breakfast had bread and butter most of the days. Should have some variety for breakfast. The staff were helpful and courteous.
I found the Hotel is very convenient for everyone. Housekeeping staff are w friendly & helpful. Reception staff not so friendly with everyone only known people but I am glad it is very Trustworthy Hotel.
Perfect location. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the young lady at reception. She was outstanding, despite working hard!

Only good thing is, you can do early check-in for an extra fee, around 1/3 of whatever you paid for a day. Normal check-in time is 2pm, but I checked in at 4am by paying extra. Furniture, carpet and building look very old. Staff were friendly. They lock the hotel main door at 10pm and open at 6am. You need to call a mobile number to ask them to unlock the main door. They answered my 6th call when I called them while I was standing outside of the hotel. No shampoo or shower gel provided by the hotel, but you could buy them from the nearest supermarket that is found next to the hospital. Did not find any bin in the room, and the carpet was very dirty with lots of marks on it.
The bathroom tiles were coming off. The worst hotel to stay. The reception people had a poor communication.

It was amazing. Very good hospitality. Easy access to bank eat and drink places. Hotel has its own Restaurant. But eating in is very expensive. Preferred other restaurants close proximity.
In a great location, need to improve room and bathroom quality

This property was advertised as breakfast included. that's one of the reason i chose. It was limited to bread, butter, marmalade and an omelet. Wery disappointing. The bathrooms looked very old and not cleaned properly. Other than the house keeping staff and door man, no one bothered to ask how our stay was. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone.
