Categories

Cleanliness
8
Generally reported as clean in many reviews (mentions of نظافة, clean rooms), but some guests reported strong sewer/ drain smells, cigarette smell in rooms and stained/old toilet fittings which lowered the score.
Service
8.8
Front-desk and specific staff repeatedly praised by name (Dilini, Faisal, Austin, Salim) and described as very helpful and friendly; however restaurant and housekeeping service received repeated criticism, so overall a mixed but positive service impression.
Location
9.2
Multiple guests note the hotel is close to the city centre and convenient ("close to the center of the city"); location met guests' expectations.
Room Quality
8.3
Renewed rooms are described as brand-new and high-standard; other rooms are older with some maintenance issues (broken TV receiver, poor water pressure, leaks), giving a mixed but above-average room quality.
Amenities
7.9
Hotel offers amenities (fitness room, tennis court, pool, parking) but several comments note facilities and fixtures are dated; present but somewhat worn.
Value for Money
9.6
Multiple guests highlight excellent value and "super cheap prices" for the standards delivered; strong positive sentiment on price-performance.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Restaurant service is criticised repeatedly (poor hospitality, need for training); few positive comments about food itself, and some complaints about minibar drink selection, so F&B scores lower.
Overall Experience
9
Overall stays are recommended by many guests due to friendly staff, clean renewed rooms and good value, despite some service and maintenance drawbacks.
