Not a place i will be hurrying to go back to,I had food poisoning from the breakfast buffet. for example, cereal in bowls so people can cough and sneeze over not covered, jams and spreads just in open jar not sealed individual serves. plates most were dirty when i picked up several plates you could feel the grease ring around the outside of the plate. when i spoke to front desk about the concerns the person just shrugged it off and said oh well that's what it is. I am happy to be contacted from Accor as this is terrible and unprofessional i have stayed at quite a few Accor hotels and they have been fantastic but this one very poor my recommendation find some were else to stay

Room was very small at 10 sq meters. Bed was against the wall and raised. Under the bed was the only place for your suitcase. If you needed to access your belongings you had to pull your bag out. I now have a sore back. The bath room was very compact, with a toilet that only flushed about every 3 times. The sign said to push firmly, so that must get them out of fixing it. The room didn’t have any windows. The good things are a very quiet room, great for sleep-ins. The hotel was very close to the main district area and bus depot. Would not recommend this hotel.

Staff was great. Very helpful. Room was tiny, and I mean tiny. There is no place to even put your luggage other than blocking the door. You have to climb up to get on the bed and the TV touches the base of the bed. Would I stay there again, I don’t think so..
