Superb Experience!

smooth processfriendly receptioncentral locationclean room
The check-in process was smooth with a friendly reception team available around the clock. The hotel location is very central offering commuting options 24/7. I found the metro station within walking distance, so getting around town was easy. I had a really quiet and clean room .
The small towel supply was limited initially. I had to request extra face towels upon arrival.

Breakfast offers a great cosmopolitan variety and starts early each day, perfect for business travelers. The restaurant staff are very attentive. You can order meals 24/7 and they arrive quickly, typically within 15-20 minutes.
