The staff were polite and very helpful. The room was clean but the elevator was scary - rickety, wobbly and some very strange noises. The drain in the shower had a dodgey odour. The heating worked well and it’s a safe place to stay.

I didn't get to stay there because I had to move my trip a week forward so they confiscated my money, claimed I had made a non-transferable booking although they couldn't show me where that was found in the contract. I won't ever use this hotel.

the property is ok. but we had very bad experience with our stay. it's a friday night, extreme noise from the street at 2:30 AM. Drunk people stayed in front of the hotel, singing, dancing & peeing directly on the street. The noise last more than 20 mins, we could not sleep at all, I went down to the lobby, asked staff for help. We needed a place to have a good night, however, it didn't go well in our case. that's why i give a bad score

If you ever book this property, make sure your dates are unchangeable. I had to move my stay forward by a week so they forfeited my money because according to them, it was non-refundable because the rate I was given at booking time, was supposedly "special". They never showed me where in the contract, this was stipulated. Although they forfeited my money, I still went ahead and booked a second time, with the new date, hoping they would appreciate my business and refund the previous amount. They were adamant, claiming the money was non-refundable, but never showed me where that was found in the contract. I knew the money could be forfeited in case of cancelation but not because I was simply moving the date forward . Availability of rooms was not the issue because I still ended up having a room, at the same rate, with the new date. I should have just gone ahead and booked a different hotel. I had chosen this one though, because of the online reviews. Service was ok, nothing spectacular for a three-star hotel. Staff members made an effort to communicate in English the best they could. However because they forfeited my money under a false non-refundable pretext, I won't lodge at this hotel in the future, unless as a last resort.

Problème de sécurité dans cet hôtel. J’ai été réveillée en pleine nuit (4h) par 5 individus dont un tambourinait à ma porte en se faisant passer pour la police. Je suis très en colère de n’avoir pu dormir tranquillement et d’avoir été en danger. Que serait-il en effet passé si j’avais ouvert la porte ?

Agréable mais peu mieux faire

Séjour d’une nuit. Hôtel en travaux donc pas super agréable à l’accueil. Chambre propre et climatisée (agréable avec la chaleur) mais du bruit dans la rue le samedi soir à 2h du matin. Par contre petit déjeuner des 6h30 du matin, top pour les sportifs qui se lèvent tôt pour une compétition. Le Parking de hôtel fermé est un plus.
