Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated in a convenient location in Solo, close to iconic spots and culinary delights. The rooms, although a bit tired, are spacious and well-maintained. The service is exceptional, particularly at the Saraswati Bar. The dining options offer a variety of traditional and standard breakfast items. However, the closure was slow, and the rooms had some old towels that were discolored.
The hotel may not be up to par with other new hotels in Solo, as it needs refurbishment, but it offers free breakfast for kids under 16. The service is excellent with fast check-in and out processes. The central location is convenient for exploring Solo, but the hotel is in urgent need of renovation.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were in need of renovation, but after a wait, I received a free upgrade to a large and comfy room which was nice. The service was attentive but not always speedy. The location was convenient but a bit outdated and neglected. The dining options were average. Overall, it was an okay stay with some ups and downs.
I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-prepared, providing a very comfortable experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the dining options were somewhat lacking, and the location seemed a bit unattended despite being close to key attractions.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room itself was nice, clean, and comfortable, but there were issues with the lack of water and coffee supplies and the maintenance of the AC system. The location was convenient, but some areas were neglected and not well-maintained.
