My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was very convenient being very close to the city center and the bus stand, but the fact that it's in a remote area might not suit everyone. On the bright side, the Bernese sausages in the dining area were a delightful treat.

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the Victoria memorial and the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms have very hard mattresses and shared bathrooms, which may not suit everyone, but the value for money is decent. The proximity to the city center and bus stand adds to the convenience. The dining options are limited, with only French fries available, and the facilities are basic.

The hotel is conveniently located very close to the city center, the Victoria memorial, and near many shopping centers, offering easy access to key attractions. The rooms have very hard mattresses and shared bathrooms, with a mixed experience in comfort. While the service was minimal, the location was superb. The dining provided French bread but lacked variety. The facilities were fairly basic but functional.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, very close to the city center and many shopping centers, making it convenient for exploring. However, the rooms had very hard mattresses and a shared bathroom, which impacted comfort. The service was decent, but there were some aspects that could be improved. The dining experience offered homemade products but had its drawbacks. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option with some trade-offs.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great, very close to the city center and Victoria Memorial, but the shared bathroom and extremely hard mattresses in the room were not comfortable. The service was friendly, but the dining options were limited. The price was reasonable for the location, but the facilities could have been better.
