Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers magnificent rooms with balconies overlooking the parade ground, and a fantastic terrace. The rooms are equipped with all amenities but may not be the most affordable option. The service is impeccable, offering a range of convenient options. The location is superb in the old town area but might come at a higher cost. The dining experience is delightful, particularly for meat lovers. The facilities are modern and convenient, catering to all needs.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern with a lovely balcony overlooking the parade ground, though lacked privacy. The amenities provided were great, ensuring a comfortable stay. However, the air conditioning was not perfect, affecting the overall room experience.
