6.8/10

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, with plenty of dining options nearby, but the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. While the staff was generally helpful, I faced some challenges during my stay, particularly regarding the state of the furniture and bathroom. I appreciated the rooftop pool, but the overall value seemed off compared to what I expected.

Rooms

5.0

The room was unfortunately not very clean, with stained furniture and an unkempt bathroom. It was a letdown, and I would rate it a 4 out of 10.

Service

6.0

The staff was polite and willing to help, but I felt they were not very knowledgeable about certain fees and amenities, which was frustrating. I'd give the service a 6 out of 10.

Location

9.0

The location was excellent, with easy access to restaurants and public transport. I would rate it a strong 9 out of 10.

Dining

7.0

I really enjoyed the local dining options nearby; however, the hotel's own breakfast offerings were disappointing. Still, this area had lots of good restaurants to try. I would rate dining at a 7 out of 10.

Facilities

8.0

The rooftop pool was a nice feature, providing a good spot to relax, although it could use more sunlight. I would rate the facilities an 8 out of 10.
