Guest sentiment

  • Cleanliness7.8

    Mixed signals: several guests praised clean rooms, rooftop pool and general tidiness, but there are specific complaints about dirty carpets, lingering smells and dated bathroom elements.

  • Service8.5

    Generally helpful staff noted (returned an iPad, swift room move), but some guests reported inconsistent or only average friendliness at reception and occasional less-warm interactions.

  • Location9.0

    Consistently praised: central location with easy access to transport, embassies and attractions; many guests highlighted walkability and neighborhood convenience.

  • Room Quality7.6

    Rooms are described as spacious and comfortable by some, but multiple mentions of outdated fittings, worn carpets, small bathrooms and non-functional fixtures lower this score.

  • Amenities8.9

    Strong amenities: rooftop pool, on-site restaurant and late-night options (Johnny Rockets) and convenient extras were appreciated, though some room amenities were initially non-functional for a few guests.

  • Value for Money7.5

    Mixed value: good-quality breakfast and location support value, but unexpected charges (children's breakfast), deposit handling delays and some outdated rooms reduce perceived value.

  • Food and Beverage8.9

    Food receives high praise in several reviews (notably excellent, varied breakfast), though a few guests found limited variety; overall F&B is a clear strength.

  • Overall Experience8.2

    Overall positive stay for many guests thanks to location, breakfast and clean rooms, tempered by occasional service inconsistencies, noise issues and some outdated room elements.
