Chosen for its proximity to the Mochit 2 bus terminal, the hotel offers large, well-equipped, and comfortable rooms that remain quiet despite the location. There are several bars and restaurants across the street, and it is a 10-minute walk to a mall featuring restaurants and a cinema. The tennis court was undergoing renovation, but the small gym and the pool were open for use; the rooftop pool is pleasant. A free shuttle to the metro is available, though we didn't use it.

Room is nice and big but I got not so hot water in the room, the reception looks cold too. Location still far from city but near to my office. Internet is slow at night, WiFi should be easier to access, I don't like it need to connect to hotel website first before connecting

This is a decent hotel with walking distance to a morning market and a lot of good food choices across the street. The rooms were spacious but the beds were very uncomfortable and felt like they have just been overused and gave me horrible back pain after a couple nights. The staff is extremely friendly tho and I feel like breakfast is overpriced for what you get.

Nice hotel ,big rooms and clean. Small pool and gym on the roof. Far from the city centre , you need taxi or bolt , or take the train, there is a shuttle service to the train, but only at certain times. Otherwise walk for 10-15 minutes.... There's a big open mall near by with restaurants, supermarket,shops, cinemas ect ..
