Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly located near the airport, offering a peaceful atmosphere in the outdoor area during the early evening. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, accommodating my request for an AC room without any hassle. The dining options were limited to hot dogs, but the overall experience was positive.
The hotel is ideally situated in the Edna Mall area, super close to the airport, making it convenient for travelers. The rooms offer a comfortable bed on the higher floors, though some noise can be heard from the garden area. The service was excellent and accommodating, with the staff kind to provide me with an AC room upon request. While the dining options were tasty with a variety of snacks available, the facilities were basic with limited amenities. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor areas for improvement.
The hotel offers lovely rooms on the higher floors with comfortable beds and kind service that fulfilled my request for an AC room. The location is convenient, located near the airport and a simple market. The dining experience with local vegetables was delightful. The facilities met my needs, making my stay enjoyable overall.
