I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished and provided excellent security. They were very comfortable, spacious, and had a massive bathroom. The service added to the overall experience, situated in a lovely spot. Although the staff were friendly, I wished they had offered more information about the area and assisted us promptly. The location was ideal for exploring the city, within walking distance to fantastic restaurants and the university campus. The dining experience was divine, and the breakfast sustained me until dinner. The hotel facilities were top-notch, offering convenience and luxury.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was perfect, within a short walk from the town and botanical gardens, offering a lovely ambiance and close proximity to excellent restaurants. However, the noisy mornings during breakfast service and the old furniture smell in the room made me feel a bit claustrophobic with a 4-poster King size bed in room 5.

The room had a mix of issues like noisy mornings during breakfast service, erratic wifi (which was fixed later), and an old furniture smell. However, the 4-poster King size bed added a touch of luxury despite feeling a bit cramped.
