Nice feeling hotel with good service - great "pub" type bar in the basement with reasonable food for a easy eat. Good view of low rise part of the city to the rear - best rooms on the corners. Would say needs update but maybe you get what you pay for? Wifi in bar and most rooms also small business... More

I have booked couple of rooms recently for my family. This is an excellent hotel situated in the heart of the city. We could walk to Indian restaurants and get grocery through out the night in Safaa market which is 4 mins walk from this hotel.

Had a workshop couple of buildings away, therefore, location was great. Customer service? Could be much better, although I was upgraded to a suite due to unavailability of non smoking rooms. Maybe the reception staff were tired by the time I checked in, which made it a lengthy process. The suite could have been cleaner as the carpet was not... More

Last minute booking for a quick business trip. Found the hotel very welcoming and the staff very helpful. Reasonable choice of bars and restaurants. Special thanks to front desk staff (Ms. Jay and her colleagues Ray and Anam) for their cheerful smiles and help in making the check in/out experience smooth and simple. Will for sure use again in future.

We stayed here a few days at the start of our holiday. The hotel was fine and breakfast was good. It is really handy for getting about on the local buses. The staff were really helpful with any query. The pool was small and on the roof but that was good for a city centre hotel.

The hotel is situated in the middle of the city were you can access almost all city facilities, the biggest value that the hotel poses is the staff, very friendly smiling all the time and ready to help. I definitely recommend this hotel specially for tourists.
