Reviews and Ratings
I was a bit surprised that we paid more for a tiny room that felt unfinished and dark, despite being three times smaller. The noise from traffic and the early morning call to prayer were quite disruptive. The staff were lovely and welcoming but were a bit pushy with their upselling tactics. The location was good for us, with easy access to the train station, though it wasn't the most peaceful area. The dining options were average with slow service. Overall, the facilities were just about satisfactory.
The hotel is perfectly located, offering easy access to the clock tower and fort by walking. The rooms are cozy and feature a winding staircase leading to a rooftop terrace with a picturesque view of the fort. The service is exceptional, with helpful staff organizing tours to explore the surroundings. The location is convenient and central to many attractions like the blue quarter and fort gates. The dining experience, although tasty, can be slow at times. Overall, a great value for money choice in the heart of the city.
My stay at the hotel was delightful with clean and comfortable rooms, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was superb, close to the clock tower and fort, although some noise from the reception and kitchen was a bit disturbing. The dining experience, although delicious, was a little slow. The facilities were top-notch, making it a great value for money.
The hotel is well located inside the Blue City, making it ideal for exploring the Fort, clock tower, and other attractions with a pleasant and scenic walk. The individual rooms matched the pictures but lacked closets and hangers. The service was friendly and helpful, especially ensuring safety for guests. The dining experience had some slow service and ant issues. The facilities were decent, but nothing special.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The location was spectacular for watching sunsets and sunrises over the fort, and it's right in the city center. The service was cooperative and understanding, although we were left stranded about half a kilometer from the property. Unfortunately, the rooms were just okay, especially for a 'deluxe room,' with wires sticking out of the wall instead of a TV.
