What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable Room Experience

During my stay, I was impressed by the room features. The accommodations were not only clean but also equipped with both YouTube and Netflix available on the TV for relaxation after a day out. The Coway water dispenser was a thoughtful addition, providing easy access to fresh water. Overall, the room was cozy, offering a great place to unwind.

Well-Maintained Facilities

The bathroom in my room had good water pressure, which made for a refreshing shower experience. Although the bathroom was on the smaller side, it was well-maintained and clean, adding to my overall comfort during my stay.

Great Entertainment Options

The media options available were fantastic. The hotel provides Netflix accounts for guests, which I found to be a good feature. After returning from exploring the area, it felt great to kick back and watch my favorite shows at night. I appreciated this modern touch!

The hotel is wonderfully located in the city center, making it easy to access popular shops and convenience stores. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the air conditioning could be more effective. The friendly staff provide great service, though room service could be quicker. The dining, especially the yogurts, is tasty, but breakfast could offer more variety. The facilities are modern and offer good value for money, but the Wi-Fi is not complimentary.

The hotel is situated at the center of the city, making it easy to find popular shops and close to everything. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay, though slightly pricey for the value. The service is impeccable with efficient room service and housekeeping. The location is convenient and ideal for exploring Georgetown's tourist attractions, yet it lacks some amenities. The dining experience, especially the homemade soup, adds a touch of warmth to the stay. The facilities are well-equipped but may need some updates to enhance the overall experience.
