I chose this hotel for its closeness to Republic Square, 5 mins on foot, while the price the lowest relatively. 3 mins walk on the right from the hotel will reach Carrefour supermarket, and the Vernissage market. Cleanliness acceptable. ||Room spacious, buffet breakfast ok, staff nice. The cons are:|- the breakfast starts rather late, 8am. All local tours start at 9am. Including calling uber time and the ride to the meeting point, that means I have to rush and finish the breakfast in 15-20 mins. |- air conditioning inside room no good. It's too warm (the monitor control is useless). I opened the windows at the end which at the same time allowed flies and mosquitoes in.|- when the master switch was turned off, the socket on the wall was off too, that means, I thought my mobile phone would be fully charged overnight but it's not surprisingly. |- TV reception was poor and channels limited (I love to watch TV at night abroad to soak myself in the exotic atmosphere. Eventually I gave up and switched the TV off)||Beware that it's next to a construction site (my room was facing it), and the area was dark and quiet at night. It's not my liking.||Overall the price is very attractive. With its strategic location, it's not a bad choice. Most of the time will be outside anyway...
Read moreI am writing this review after second staying at this hotel. Hotel is located near to metro route & construction sites. Every 3-4 minutes there is a rumbling sound of trains passing by. During daytime this sound is combined with construction noises just next door so yo can say good buy to a good sleeping most of the times. Bed mattresses are too soft and springy so you might fall off the bed while turning your body during the night. Staffs act politely, some have good knowledge of english language but they are not helpful at all. Room temperature can not be adjusted from inside the room and is so hot that without opening window i felt i was burning. With construction right beside the window & in nights flies & cold weather coming in you can guess when i opened the window how uncomfortable the situation is. This is the worst experience i had staying at a hotel while i am traveling quite often and have stayed at many hotels around the world so far. If i could give a star to this hotel would be 2 star at best instead of 4. Only good thing about this hotel is its location which is very close to city center but in my opinion is not worth the torture. I WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN...
Read moreFirst day, behavior from the front staff was not acceptable, and room assistant insisted to get Tip in AED, and he stayed to get money from me. It was very bad experience on holiday. Beacuse totally new place for me and my family including kids they were tired, so I didn't went for further. And watter kettle that was kept in my room was dirty, and the staff was eger to explain procedure, rather than welcoming us. And the cups we used didn't washed and didn't kept new untill end of our stay. So I informed same to my travel organizer. From next day onwards I feel more comfort. Breakfast was nice. And it is located in prime area, and having access to Metro, Malls, shops, restaurant, pharmacies and other supermarkets. In that sense it is best place to stay, Republican Square and souvenirs market is very near. Totally I liked the...
