Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has some room for improvement in services and location, but it offers large, tidy, and clean rooms. The service was a mix of amazing professionalism and some upselling tactics. The location is surrounded by construction, making access a challenge. The dining experience was reasonable with some lack of variety. Facilities were available, but with areas needing design enhancement.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were fantastic, clean, and had a bed that was incredibly comfortable. However, it was a bit noisy at times. The service was hit or miss, with the health club staff not being friendly or professional, while others were kind and helpful. The location was a bit tricky to access due to road works but ideal for visiting the MOD. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a good variety but some items not up to par. Overall, the stay had its highlights and challenges.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was fantastic, with a bed that felt like heaven, but the lack of facilities was a real letdown. The service was top-notch, better than I expected.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms on the top floor were spacious and clean, offering good facilities, but lacked some basic necessities like hand towels and a sewing kit. The service was a hit-or-miss, with the health club staff being professional, while the front desk staff were not very welcoming. The location, though near my workplace and city attractions, was impacted by construction projects, making it slightly inconvenient. The dining experience fell short of expectations with limited choices and a high cost. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel rooms had some issues with temperature controls but offered good facilities. Room servicing was delayed, and essentials like hand towels and a sewing kit were missing.

The service was a mix of pleasant staff, including the exceptional Sudanese receptionist, but also displayed unprofessional behavior at times. Dining options lacked variety and prompt service, falling short of expected standards. The hotel had its downsides with room servicing and credit card acceptance, but some positives like good facilities.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the lack of housekeeping until late in the day and unchanged bedsheets throughout my entire 7-day stay were major letdowns. Moreover, the unexpected refusal of my Diners Club International credit card upon check-out was disappointing. The hotel lacked facilities, creating an overall disappointing experience. Additionally, the twin bed setup was unexpected.
The hotel felt like home, but the rooms were extremely old and dated, not very clean, and not convenient. Additionally, they did not accept Diners Club International credit cards which was inconvenient for me.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a variety of meal options, maintaining a quiet ambiance. However, my stay was slightly warm through the night. Looking forward to my next visit!
The hotel offers very comfortable and spacious rooms, but the service could improve. The location is not ideal due to ongoing construction works. The dining experience is decent, with some room for enhancement. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they lacked facilities compared to other hotels of the same rating. The top-floor room I stayed in was cozy but felt standard. The service was friendly and nice, but at times, amenities felt uncomfortable and uncooperative. The location seemed good at first, but ongoing metro projects and road works made it challenging to access shops or restaurants. Dining was excellent with a variety of foods available both in the lobby and during breakfast.
