The rooms are so clean and the property doesn't seem old. The rooms are stunning as advertised. Great value for money. I would book this hotel again. We tried the mutton curry bunny on their menu and it was good.

At breakfast (it's free), my partner had left so I was alone and 3 tables got served before me mind you it the same things except if you add on which I didn't and it's takes up to an hour to arrive. It tasted good though. I went both days that we had booked, first day with my partner.

Close proximity, breakfast daily, galore authentic Indian food, staff very pleasant and pleasing to chat with, security officers vet helpful with entering and leaving the parking spaces, wifi and internet very useful.The balcony was lovely to relax.

Microwave or kettle in room would be useful to make tea or reheat food. However I did not check if I could heat food with staff. No lift for baggage and luggage as all rooms were on upper floor... However a porter was available when needed.

Breakfast took absolutely long to get almost . The sausages were not nice. Menu says mutton but I think it was not. Tasted very bad. Hope it was not beef as we don't eat beef. We requested cappuccinos send was hold it was locked up in the office. I would not recommend the Breakfast.

Breakfast and we only had it 1 morning .. and was very unhappy. The restaurant only had about another 4 guests but it took very long.

The rooms were very clean. Housekeeping, Breakfast waiter & some reception staff were very friendly. I was assisted with hot water in my flask. I wish there was kettle coz I'm a coffee person (day & night) . The music they play at the dinning area and the food served is awesome, real butter & sausage.

It's not really about what I didn't like but I just a request for a kettle ONLY on my next visit. I do have my mugs & coffee, but just a kettle during my stay would be awesome. I do recommend the place for anyone. Thank you.

It was an overnight stay and fit for purpose as it close to everything...easy to find and secure parking...friendly staff...nice meal at the Restuarant and the complementary breakfast was very nice.

Seem the Bar area is exclusively for Smokers.... I dont smoke and found it hard to enjoy my drink there...can you possibly have a dedicated smoking area outside to that Non-smokers can also use the Bar.

The breakfast was delicious but too little though for a man with a big appetite like mine, but it was taste. The properties is well organized, I liked everything about this place. The bar and the restaurant, the rooms are superb, but the actual location of the property was bit out of place, cause the it bit far from the beached, the mall and the shopping complex. More over there is no view of anything outside except the road and the cars that are passing by and the bridges, but the overall experience of this property was awesome, I love it the convenience of the bar, restaurant and the cleanliness of the whole property. I will definitely go back and visit the property especially for their delicious dishes.

The attitude of the lady at the bar, I believe she can do better, she didn't have the welcoming spirit to the guest of which ended up almost affecting our mood. She is grumpy and bit rude when you seek clarity about the flavors of drinks she available at the bar. I believe she can do better, by being a little bit patient with guest and their queries. Otherwise everybody else was nice and friendly, with that much needed welcoming spirit.
