"The staffs were so kind and helpful, esp their Manager Edu. Our bathroom sink wasn’t draining well & he tried to fix it, but really needs an expert. Room was clean & decent size. The breakfast buffet has a lot of choices, drinks & desserts as well. I’ll recommend this hotel as it’s a walking distance too to the city centre."
