I have stayed at this hotel a few times now and the satay has always been pleasant. Overall the room was clean, the breakfast was decent, parking was free and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that it was 30c heat and the Hotel did not have working air-conditioning! However the room was provided with a fan.

The guy on the reception desk was brilliant - we'd had such a long journey. We were taken care of, we knew the AC was out and he fetched an extra fan. He spotted we needed an extra pillow without us needing to ask and brought it up within minutes. Really impressive.

It was nice & quiet, so got a good night's rest. No air con but there was notification that it wasn't working & the tv wasn't showing any channels. Overall, with the breakfast included in the booking, it was a pleasant & relatively cost efficient stay.

Stayed here for the first time and will definitely revisit. The breakfast had a good variety but could do with more veggie and halal options. We enjoyed the fresh fruit and croissants on top of the breakfast which was free with the stay. We found the room and bathroom clean but the light switches did not cleverly work ftom the bedside. There was plenty parking at no extra cost.
