I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms started off rough with some noise and maintenance issues but later improved. The service was outstanding, especially at the on-site restaurant, but language barriers could be challenging. The location was a bit out of the way but easy to reach by taxi. The dining experience was pleasant but could still use some improvements. Overall, I had a decent stay with some highs and lows.

When we arrived, the rooms were a bit musty smelling, but overall very clean and comfortable at a reasonable price. They did get a bit stuffy, but having windows to open helped. The service was a mix; the staff had a poker face and lacked communication skills, but they knew English and were helpful with visa services. The hotel's location, although a little far from the metro station, was nice, quiet, and easily accessible by taxi, with attractions like a library and traditional statues nearby. The dining options were good with a variety of meals, despite being a bit pricey. The facilities were satisfactory, offering room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, a welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance.

The hotel had clean rooms with nice furnishings, but my stay was overshadowed by the small size of the room and its proximity to a noisy lift with faulty blinds. The management's response to these issues was lacking. On the bright side, the room did offer foreign water and beverages like coke, though the winter temperatures made it uncomfortable due to the lack of functioning air conditioning.
