Great location. Good value.
Pros:

Great service. Booking.com had promised us an early check in. Tye hotel said they didn’t do early check in and booking.com often made promises not signed off on by the hotel. Nonetheless, they did arrange for us to check in earlier. Delicious breakfast. Great rooftop restaurant. Perfect location.

Cons:

Room very small. Bed very small for 2 people.

Passable with good location benefit
Pros:

Good location and the staff was polite and helpful.

Cons:

The rooms and the bathroom were too small. Barely enough space to stand and take a proper bath in the shower. The AC didn’t work for the first night and it was hot. Though they fixed it and it worked well for the rest of the stay, but the first night was difficult.

Not being bitter, just being honest.
Pros:

The location is strategic, that is all about it

Cons:

The room is dusty and old, the toilet flush did not work, the sheets and my pillows full of stains and mouldy. The smells of the room is awful. Not so many variation of breakfast and stale breads. Even the coffee taste horrible.
