There were marble-lined bathroom and inviting room. Faultless staff made a good impression. The hotel's location was central. Further, it was right by Eyre Square.

The hotel was very clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed an unbeatable location. More than adequate and bright room, I had a perfect 10/10 stay. There were stores and a market around the venue. The facilities were wonderful and easy to use.
