Its facilities, Competitive Pricing, Amenities, Kitchen, Roof top, TV Room, Bar and Restaurant Hygiene and Location. Prompt and Scheduled Cleaning Services are really Appreciated. Provisions for healthy and safe environment with many sanitation and sanitiser equipment in many places of the building, you would really feel secure. You will always feel you made the right choice, specially for people planning to visit other places, this location has everything in proximity from Shopping Centres, Cafes, Restaurant’s and Beaches and Many More.

Comfortable stay for budget minded travellers
All good, I did feel some bed bugs but other than that all was good. Great and friendly reception service and a bonus drink voucher on check-in! The only thing I wish they did not close the rooftop area at night as it is the only comfortable and quiet place to sit down and work on computer. Have not had a chance to check out the new TV room.
