Guest scores & sentiment

From 185 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-17

Guests highly praise the prime location opposite the bus terminal, convenient for travel. The breakfast is consistently rated excellent with wide variety, and beds are comfortable. Staff are generally helpful. However, the building shows its age with outdated facilities. Noise from the terminal and events disrupts sleep, while small bathrooms without glass enclosures and unreliable Wi-Fi are frequent complaints. Some rooms also have musty odors. Overall, it offers good value but requires tolerance for older infrastructure.
