I enjoyed the excellent location. It was close to major attractions and public transport. Breakfast had lots of choice. I liked the restaurant area (especially the garden view). The staff was very friendly and accommodating .
The hotel picture is a little misleading. It is located on a dingy backstreet. I found this aspect slightly disappointing.
