Great newly renovated hotel. Staff is excellent. What we loved most was how we didn’t hear other guests in the next room. Would have loved to have a better shower door that was easier to close and perhaps a shelf for my own toiletries in the shower. Breakfast was ok, we were there 3 days and there’s almost zero variety of food items. The scrambled eggs seemed a little runny too.

The hotel is clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly. The room isn't large, but everything is there. We had a pleasant stay. Our air conditioning wasn't working; the temperature remained at 25 degrees Celsius (outside of a heatwave). After reporting it, it was fixed within 10 minutes. What could be improved is the breakfast arrangement: an illogical order creates unnecessary delays. The coffee corner is also illogical and is right next to a breakfast table.
