Rooms are big, beds were comfortable and very soft. Its also across Dharan mall and a few mins away corniche. All requests were brought to our room within 5 mins as promised. We didnt even know they had a mini kitchen with nice sofa. Mig mirrors also for outfit checks. I just hope they remove the AC in the bathroom next time i book with them. But still one of the best hotels ive been in. They also agreed with an early check in and late checkout. Nice staffs and receptionists so big thanx for them!

Room AC not working through out my stay. I told the receptionist about the problem but was not fixed until I checked out from the hotel. Though the AC technician came he checked and said it will work after a while. But it didn’t work. You can imagine to sleep in this room without proper cooling. شكوة على الله

We recently did a Iftar party for 50+ people. We were delighted with the service. The food and setup in the ballroom was excellent. All of our guest absolutely loved the food. It is an old hotel but the service from deciding the menu to execution of our event was fantastic. Thank you Amr Hassan for your professionalism

Excellent location, but there are no barriers from the highway noise. They are very punctual when checking out. They never extend your time after 3 p.m, unlike many hotels.
