The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, but the service needs improvement with uncooperative staff. The location near the metro and amenities like restaurants and supermarkets is superb, yet some aspects fall short of expectations.

The hotel is conveniently located near a vibrant part of the city and close to essential amenities. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, but there were some issues with room maintenance and cleanliness that affected the overall experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room amenities were great, but the room quality itself was disappointing compared to other aspects of the facility. The location was convenient and near essential services, which prompted me to extend my stay, but the Wi-Fi was a bit bothersome. The dining options were satisfactory with minor room for improvement, but the service was lackluster and unaccommodating.

The hotel is situated close to Al Rigga metro station with many shops and restaurants nearby, but the rooms are a bit old and there is a noisy nightclub onsite. The service is very hospitable, especially from workers like Rahel, Margaret, and Cherry, although not all staff members are accommodating. The location is convenient, near to the airport and the metro station, but the area of Al-Rigga may not be appealing to everyone. The dining experience offers good food for the price paid, but there are issues with cleanliness and buffet availability.

I stayed at the hotel twice for our comfort, and although the rooms were a bit dingy with a lingering cigarette smell, the non-smoking room was provided upon request, albeit with an ashtray. The service was very helpful and polite despite some communication issues. The location was convenient, only a short walk from the metro station, with stores and restaurants nearby. The dining experience was decent, offering good vegetarian options but could be better, especially during rush times. Overall, the hotel provided a satisfactory stay with minor drawbacks.

I've stayed at this hotel twice, and while the rooms were nice and comfortable, I was a bit let down by the cigarette smell and poor lighting. The location, however, was superb with easy access to the metro and surrounding amenities. The WiFi could use an upgrade for a better experience.

The hotel is conveniently located, close to Rigga Metro Station and the heart of the city, offering good cleanliness and a great bar area and pool. The rooms are spacious with a nice sitting room, but there were thumping noises from the electrical fuse box in the bathroom. The service was impeccable, especially thanks to Mr Santhosh at the front desk, but there were issues with a receptionist. The hotel lacks some dining options with poor choices and should improve room facilities. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor drawbacks.
