Good Location and Helpful Staff
helpful staff generous tea hot water machine
The staff was super helpful upon arrival. They helped with our luggages up the stairs. The tea and coffee provided was generous, including a hot water machine.
The value of price money and the room didn't match at all! There was problem with the WiFi! Though after connecting with the hotel they said that it was working fine and if the model of your phone is old then it won't work but my phone is new iPhone 15! That was the problem! And even the door there was problem with the lock as it was difficult to open! And I feel the price money was way too expensive! For this room! Because we didn't have access to the kitchen!
