    We spent a weekend at this hotel, with friends from the US. The central location was perfect for our plans to visit several museums, shops and be close to eating places. The staff were excellent, very pleasant and helpful with all our needs. We hope to return and would certainly recommend.

  • 2.0.Poor

    I had the worst time on Fri, the first day I checked in as it was the International woman's day and I faced the biggest protest right outside my room. Non stop tertible noises of people shouting and screaming outside my room. I was stuck in hotel until 11:30 pm. It was a shock. I must have been informed but expedia and the hotel didnt warn me atall about it. When I told the hotel reception why they didn't inform me about this so atleast i could plan my day differently rather thsn being stuck in my room for 7.5hrs, nobody cared or even apologised. Ive never seen such poor customer service. I would not have booked it if knew what was happening. Ive got all the videos of what I faced and its truly shocking
