The breakfast buffet was very comfortable. It had a really spacious restaurant. Walking into the City Centre was easy from here. The team was super friendly. I especially enjoyed chatting with Rekha in the mornings! We had such a lovely time at this great hotel. I will certainly return.
I ordered the soup, and the bread was rock hard. I could not physically tear it apart.

Solid Stay by the Riverside

spacious roomriver locationdecent varietywell maintained pool
I found the room spacious, providing ample room to relax after a long day. The hotel's location near the river allowed for a pleasant walk. The breakfast options offered a decent variety. I thought the pool facilities were very well maintained.
The gym was a little small.
Facilities

The gym featured three treadmills and two stationary bikes. Space felt somewhat limited (especially during peak hours). A sauna was available adjacent to the pool area.

The hotel's proximity to the riverbank provided nice walking routes. I noted a bus stop about a 5-minute walk from the entrance. The area felt safe for walking even after dark.

The breakfast buffet offered a selection of hot and cold items. I observed a variety of pastries, cereals, and fruit available. High chairs were readily available in the dining area (a small detail i appreciated).
