I found the staff to be friendly, and the room was very clean. A king sized bed provided ample space. The mini fridge included free water and milk. This was a nice touch. The room was also quiet.

Really good Stay!

central location useful air conditioning welcome detail efficient service
The location was convenient. I found myself within easy walking distance of the city center. The room included air conditioning, very useful, and a refrigerator. Fresh milk was supplied instead of those small tubs, a welcome detail. I particularly appreciated the service. All requests were handled promptly and efficiently.
I found that some areas could use a little updating.

dirty bed disgusting toilet door
The room had a good selection of teabags, mugs, and a kettle. Fresh milk and spring water were also in the minifridge.
Our room was disappointing. The bed clearly had not been changed after the previous guest and the toilet door was disgusting. I expected much more from a 4-star hotel.
