Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel felt very safe and well maintained. Both the hotel and the neighborhood were very quiet. There were several food options within walking distance. My room had a connecting door which let a lot of sound in, but the neighbors went to bed early so it wasn't a problem. I would perhaps request a room without a connecting door if possible. For the price, it was a great deal. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.

All good.

The room was spacious and fit two queen beds easily. The receptionist, Anand, was friendly, and the check in was quick and efficient. The cons were a noisy fan in the bathroom, connected to the lights - you couldn’t turn the light without it. Another drawback was rattling thunders of the bed bases, but apparently there are plans to solve this issue.
