Check in was straightforward and the receptionist friendly and helpful. Room was clean and tidy. The only negative point was that the bed was hard which caused some discomfort to my wife. Overall, for a last minute booking, we were very happy.

Comfortable bed but room in poor condition
I thought the room was in poor condition. The bathroom in particular was disappointing and many floor tiles were cracked and loose. The room carpet doesn’t quite meet the carpet runner at the bathroom door so the spikes of the runner aren’t fully covered - I found that out the hard way. While the restaurant is open, the room smells of oil which gave a bad first impression that is impossible to get past and has contributed to my overall negative opinion. The curtains in the room do give privacy but don’t block out light in the slightest. To be fair the bed was comfortable and it didn’t feel unclean. And the room was spacious. But I wished I’d booked somewhere else and even paused for a few minutes upon arrival to consider whether I could afford to write off the booking and find somewhere else (I couldn’t and didn’t). I thought this place was quite expensive for what it was offering. Perhaps other rooms in the hotel aren’t quite as disappointing so don’t just rely on this review, please do check out the others.

We made a late self check in but it was so easy. The directions for self check in were so clear , no difficulties. Very responsive and helpful! There were kind to save our luggages after checking out until we leave the town. It was a nice stay.

Crystal Clear!
I was looking for a place, close to the train station - without paying premium prices, for a short one night stay...and I told the young lady as I was leaving, that I would definitely stay there again one day soon...as it fitted the bill, in terms of expectations against price. In an incredibly expensive city, it gives great value for money - and the service of the staff, including Laksh(?) in the evening who ordered a taxi and knocked my door when it arrived, shows great customer service, regardless of price paid. Thank you.
