Our stay
The whole bilding has an odor. You didnt smell it as much in the rooms but you could still smell it. All through the hallways was horrible. There was mold starting in the bathroom above the tub behind and uptop of the bathroom door and in the tile grout where you hang your towel. Beds and pillows was not comfortable.

Don't do it!
Do NOT let the photos mislead you... This place is a dump, and you should avoid it. It reeked of smoke in the hallways, very little ventilation, and the rooms were dark and musty. I found a cheaper room at the Swissotel the same day and immediately checked out. I only took one photo and then left. Of course, they still charged me for one night, but there was no way I could stay there.

One night stay
Our receptionists on arrival and departure were exceptional. Amazingly friendly and helpful
The rooms are quite outdated, which the pictured really don’t show and is therefore a bit of a mislead. Chipped furniture an old aircon that’s all flaked etc
Also a massive shoutout to our waiter in the restaurant. We had lunch and he was THE BEST! Thank you so much
