Really central and only a 10 minute walk from the main centre! Our room was really clean and the hotel had a chill vibe about it which was relaxing.
Only negative was our room was boiling hot, we tried to lower the aircon but it wouldn't go any lower than the set setting. Other than this there was no issues at all.

- Room was clean and very comfortable for a single guest - Good shower - Enjoyed the food; Room service was quick and good
- How to use Room Service could have used more clear instructions in how it works e.g. make more clear texts had to be done via WhatsApp. - Breakfast felt expensive

The room was clean and the bed was very large and comfy. The location was ideal and there was no noise from outside, despite us being on the second floor facing the main road. The air con was great as well since it was a hot day. A few reviews say the AC was loud, but it was similar to white noise. Check in was easy.
The room above us were partying and playing loud music that we could hear clearly through the night. We didn’t complain to reception about this.
