I found this hotel to be quite basic with some areas for improvement. The rooms are tiny and starting to show wear, but the hotel is clean and the staff are attentive. Unfortunately, the breakfast options weren't impressive, and the noise from traffic and guests made it challenging to relax. I felt like it was an economical choice, but there are definitely quirks that could be addressed.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a decent stay, especially given the low rate. However, there were a few issues, like some noise from the corridors and road that disturbed my rest. The breakfast was inconsistent and could use improvement. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, but some aspects left me wishing for a bit more.

This hotel is quite new and has a convenient location, just steps away from the IT mall. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but a bit on the small side. Although the staff was friendly, I felt their service didn't leave a lasting impression. Breakfast was a mixed bag - some days great, but one day it was cold. The value for money is excellent, but be prepared for some noise from the corridors and outside.

The breakfast was lacking variety, and the check-in process could be improved. However, the staff was decent and the price is low for the area, but I felt that it was still not great value overall.
