amazing stay!

spacious room great service

the room was spacious and very clean!!! i got upgraded to a beautiful single room, awesome. the front desk staff were polite and provided great service, very professional.

the street area around the hotel wasn't great. i realized it was safe, but it felt a bit off-putting. some nearby streets are pretty dark with little to no street lights.

Location

the hotel is in close proximity to several amenities. the nearest metro station is within a short walking distance, providing easy access to explore the city. meena bazaar is also nearby, about 6-8 minutes away on foot.
