Enjoy a peaceful stay at this hotel

Although this hotel is situated on a buzzing street with a lively night-life as well as not far from the airport, guests have still enjoyed a peaceful night sleep without being woken up by the airplanes, early prayer calls, loud traffic or pubs nearby.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Restaurant food is below-par

This hotel offers an on-site restaurant catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner, However, reviews have indicated that the food offered does leave guests with a little something to be desired, even more so when considering the high-class nearby restaurants.

negative:

Wi-Fi is not free for non IHG members

Guests have been disappointed to learn that the Wi-Fi offered at this hotel is not used without a fee. This does come complimentary to those who are IHG members. However, these members make up only a percentage of the total guests visiting this hotel.

negative:

Several faulty in-room features

Reviews suggest that this hotel should refurbish and maintain the in-room and bathroom features more often. The in-room features are outdated and the bathroom features are not always in full working condition, for instance some of the drains are blocked and the showers leak.
