I couldn't ask for a better location, with the park right outside and the city center just around the corner. The rooms were cozy, but having a rat trap outside our window was a bit unsettling. The service was top-notch, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, and even a lovely welcome drink. The on-site dining, although with limited options and the meat removed, featured delicious Thai dishes. Overall, a nice stay with minor room concerns.

The hotel is in a superb location, very near to the city center and right on the doorstep to Hoe Park. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but the presence of a rat trap outside our window was off-putting. The service is attentive and efficient, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry services, and a welcome drink. The dining experience was delightful with Welsh pastry, but the meat removal from dishes was a downside. The facilities are modern and offer great value for money.

The hotel's location is perfect, just by the beautiful Hoe Park and very close to the city center. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the service is impeccable. However, there was a rat trap outside our window, which was off-putting at first. The dining options were good, especially for vegetarians and vegans. The facilities offered here are great, making the stay enjoyable overall.

The hotel is conveniently located, right on the doorstep to hoe Park and very near to the city center. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but we had a rat trap outside our window. The service is efficient with dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and a welcome drink. However, the dining experience is mixed with the meat being removed but featuring fresh pastries. The price is reasonable for the value offered.
