The room offered a great view from the balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I found the cleanliness to be really good.
The internet connection was notably slow. The noise from a nearby mosque was disruptive early in the morning.

I appreciated the clean and spacious rooms. The in-room refrigerator was very useful. Tea making facilities added to the convenience. The provided wet towel upon check-in was a nice touch. I also enjoyed the hill view from the common balcony.
The hotel is on a steep incline, and walking to nearby attractions can be challenging.
