I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were functional and cozy, they felt a bit old and could use some updates. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and helpful, but one customer service officer really struggled with English. The breakfast options weren't great either, though the Wi-Fi was strong, which was a nice perk.

The hotel has a very old feel, and while the strong Wi-Fi was a perk, the overall experience was marred by poor customer service and cleanliness issues. The friendly reception staff and cozy room setup were redeeming features, but significant improvements are needed in dining and overall maintenance.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The serenity and cozy atmosphere were a big plus, with friendly staff and functional amenities. However, some aspects like the old furniture and inconsistent breakfast quality were disappointing. Overall, it's a decent choice, especially for Muslim guests due to halal certification, but there's room for improvement.
