Don't listen the other reviews!! This hotel is amazing. Staff are friendly and rooms were clean. The food was very nice and had lots of options. Location is perfect, the metro was 2 mins away. WiFi was functional. Had an issue with the bathroom lock, staff came to help immediately. Totally recommend this hotel if you want a premium experience. ☺️☺️

I was very happy with my short stay. I had a tough travel experience and the staff was very attentive and patient. I was able to do early check-in, which was a life saver. The room was clean and everything was functional. Would absolutely stay at this place again!

Excellent value for money. Better to choose a single room rather than twin. Otherwise, everything was perfect for a 3-star stay. Halal food options are within walking distance, and the location is also great for nightlife.
