Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent and central location, highlighting its proximity to major attractions and transport. The friendly and helpful service was also noted positively. However, many guests mentioned the hotel's dated condition, including old furnishings, cleanliness issues, and small bathrooms. The rooftop pool and views were appreciated but some facilities like the pool and air conditioning need updating. Overall, the hotel offers good value for location but could benefit from renovations.

Pros (+) We love the location and the beautiful rooftop pool. We were also given a different room when a jackhammer was being used on the street outside our window late at night.
Cons (-) Other hotels haven't made us wait to check in if rooms were available before 3pm. We also didn't get a complimentary breakfast like we expected because we booked through a third party website.
