The main attraction was easily accessible from the hotel. i was happy the manager looked after my bags prior to check-in. the continental breakfast had a very good selection (it was a nice start to the day). the room was clean. This gave me a good first impression.

The noise from the street was a bit loud. It was not advertised.

i was pleased with its central setting. sanjeewa was very cute and very helpful to me. the beds had much comfort and rest.

the stairs felt very steep going to the higher floors. our beautiful room felt so small, and the bathroom was small. i think croissants or danishes would improve the breakfast.

The location was very convenient, close to the main attractions. the staff assisted me with parking information. It was helpful.

The furniture looked a bit basic. It felt a little run-down. the tv remote was taped together. It could use an upgrade.
