    Everything was perfect, clean hotel, great location close to local flea market. Awesome breakfasts with the omelette station and bread & pastry, as example. Superb service, modern family room with kettle and badly designed showers, as example. Heated pool, parking nearby. Late check-out. Location very close to green market square and many restaurants and other business and tourist destinations. Nearby Tiger's Milk - great place to chill out.

    The location of the hotel was great, right in the heart of the city. We were able to easily access tourist attractions and the bus route. The staff at the hotel were friendly and always had a smile on their face. They were extremely helpful and made us feel welcome throughout our stay.

    The rooms were old and run down, with worn out carpets. The gym was also very disappointing, with only two treadmills and three exercise bicycles for the large number of guests.
