My stay at this hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were modern and generally clean, which was a plus, but the location was quite far from the main attractions. The dining experience during breakfast, unfortunately, was chaotic and left a lot to be desired. Overall, it felt like there was potential, but the execution fell short in several key areas.

My stay at this hotel was quite decent overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though a bit on the smaller side. I enjoyed the easy access to a nearby Muslim restaurant, which was a huge plus. However, the breakfast left much to be desired, and the staff could have been a bit more engaging. While it’s conveniently located for some amenities, it’s a bit far from the city center and major attractions.
