Good value for money. First room I checked in was lousy. Cracked paint and air con not working. Second room was very satisfactory. The reason I booked this hotel was their 11th floor SkyBar which has a beautiful view of city and surrounds. Totally outweighs the few small negative things

i like the room, its cozy, calming and simple. But, i don't like the breakfast. If you travel frequently and have been used to be served buffet, then it will cause you major shock
