    I like the place, so friendly and quiet. The internet connection is good too. The place is situated in between malls so it is just a good location.

    I wish there will be variety of food for breakfast though its good but if its always the same food you eat every morning, you will get bored with the tasted.

    It was a normal room, can't say I really like something about it.

    The room was pretty old and didn't have any sunlight.

    Cleanliness, helpfulness and discipline.

    I could not sleep or concentrate on my work in my room i.e. 340. My room window has glass flaps which are not air tight or soundproof. People who came for dance training making music or noises outside disturbed me.

    There was good service in the sense that when we requested for extra pillows, it was granted. Should have hair dryer in hotel room. However, internet service in room was not available..Have to be in certain part of the hotel.

    The Triple room is challenge for space
